Modifies the priority for nonprofit organizations to receive certain state energy grants in Minnesota.

The bill modifies the priority for nonprofit organizations to receive certain state energy grants in Minnesota. It establishes a priority order for grant awards, placing federal formula funds directed to the state and political subdivisions first, followed by funds directed to institutions of higher education, consumer-owned utilities, businesses, and investor-owned utilities. Nonprofit organizations are now prioritized alongside investor-owned utilities. The commissioner must report on eligible federal energy grant funds and develop a priority list by November 15, 2023.
