Bill > HF1013

This bill appropriates $5 million in fiscal year 2026 from Minnesota's renewable development account to the commissioner of commerce, specifically for a grant to Clean Energy Economy Minnesota to support the Minnesota Energy Alley initiative. The funding is designed to advance the state's energy and economic development objectives through several key activities, including establishing the initiative, providing seed funding for businesses, creating a training and development program, recruiting entrepreneurs to Minnesota, and securing additional funding from federal programs and corporate partners. The bill notes that this is a one-time appropriation and explicitly states that it is being made notwithstanding existing statutory provisions. The Minnesota Energy Alley appears to be a strategic effort to foster clean energy innovation and entrepreneurship within the state, with the goal of creating a sustainable ecosystem for energy-related businesses and technologies.
