AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish and fund the Energy Innovation Grant Program (EIGP) by appropriating $10,000,000 in general purpose revenue (GPR) for each fiscal year of the 2025-27 biennium, meaning $10 million will be allocated in the 2025-2026 fiscal year and another $10 million in the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The EIGP, which currently uses federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to award grants for energy efficiency and innovation projects, will be administered by the Office of Energy Innovation within the Public Service Commission. This legislation ensures continued state funding for these important energy initiatives beyond the current federal funding.
