Energy conservation: schools.
Summary
The Energy Conservation Assistance Act of 1979 establishes, until January 1, 2011, the State Energy Conservation Assistance Account, a continuously appropriated account, that is administered by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to provide grants and loans to local government and public institutions, including, among others, schools, to maximize energy use savings. This bill would require the Controller, upon the request of the commission, to establish the Solar School Subaccount in the State Energy Conservation Assistance Account and would be available for the deposit of funds, including specified federal funds. The bill would require that the moneys in the subaccount, upon appropriation by the Legislature, be used for the purposes of providing loans to schools for energy efficiency projects and for the installation of solar energy systems.
