SF 1434 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Solar energy production incentive program allocations from the renewable development account elimination after 2025 provision

SF 1434 amends Minnesota law to end annual funding for the solar energy production incentive program after 2025. Currently, $5 million is allocated yearly from 2026 through 2035; this bill removes that future funding commitment. The change affects utility companies operating the program and homeowners/businesses installing solar systems under the incentive. It modifies Minnesota Statutes section 116C.7792 by eliminating the specified annual allocations beyond 2025, though existing 2025 funding remains in place.
