Kentucky HB2 May Make Center for Renewable Energy Research part of Governor's Office of Energy Policy

Last year, HB1 called for the establishment of a "Center for Renewable Energy Research and Environmental Stewardship." KREC supported the establishment of this Center, and made it a central part of the Consortium's 25x'25 Roadmap Recommendations, found within this year's Legislative Prospectus. 

Recently, as part of this session's HB2, that Center has been "attached to the Governor's Office of Energy Policy for administrative purposes." 

HB2 - HCS - Retain the original provisions; make technical corrections; create a new section of KRS 152.710 to 152.725 to create a Center for Renewable Energy Research and Environmental Stewardship, attached to Governor's Office of Energy Policy for administrative purposes; establish duties of the center; create a governing board of directors, designate membership and term of service; establish the duties of the board.
