The program will be funded through an appropriation from the renewable development account, and the grants can be used to cover the costs of analyzing a building's heating and cooling demand, evaluating equipment that could be combined with a geothermal system, analyzing the geologic conditions, and preparing a financial analysis of the project. The bill also requires contractors and subcontractors performing work funded by the grants to have experience installing geothermal energy systems.
