Description
Energy grant programs. Provides that the provisions of the 2006 Energy Policy Act establishing the Renewable Electricity Production Grant Program and Solar and Wind Energy System Acquisition Fund shall not become effective until appropriations are made to those funds. As originally enacted, the Act provided that the Funds' enabling legislation would expire on July 1, 2009, if any funds were not deposited to the Funds by July 1, 2009. The measure also provides that the grants do not apply to activities occurring prior to January 1, 2007, revises the process by which eligible persons may apply for a grant, and requires that eligible wind-power generators must meet applicable performance and quality standards as specified by the Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy.
