Clean Energy Grants.
HB 792 appropriates $10 million (to the NC Clean Energy Innovation and Research Fund) and $4.5 million (to the One North Carolina Fund) for competitive grants in North Carolina's 2025-2026 fiscal year. The funds target small businesses (under 100 employees), nonprofits, local governments, and state agencies to support clean energy innovation, renewable technology deployment, and energy efficiency projects. Key provisions include requiring matching funds for some grants and prioritizing workforce development in the clean energy sector. The grants aim to grow North Carolina's green economy through business development and market expansion in renewable energy. Funds not spent by June 30, 2027, will revert to the state's general fund.
