This bill requires the PSC to ensure an increase in spending on incentives for projects for improving energy efficiency at elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools under the statewide energy efficiency and renewable resources programs that are funded by investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities under current law. Those programs are commonly referred to as the Focus on Energy programs. The bill requires the PSC to ensure that the amount spent annually on the incentives is at least $10,000,000 more than the amount spent in fiscal year 2016-17. The bill also requires the PSC to ensure that public elementary and secondary schools are given a priority in the spending on the incentives.
