The bill proposes an appropriation of $10,000,000 from the general fund for the community energy transition grant program, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 116J.55. This funding is designated for fiscal year 2026 and is intended to support initiatives that facilitate the transition to community-based energy solutions.
The appropriation is a one-time allocation, meaning it is not intended to be a recurring expense, and the funds will remain available for use until June 30, 2028. This initiative aims to bolster economic development through sustainable energy practices within communities across Minnesota.
