Sen. Lincoln Fillmore (R)

SB 111 (Energy Storage Innovation, Research, and Grant Program Act)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill provides taxpayer-funded grants to purchase electric battery storage in the home or office.

Libertas opposes this bill. While we support the overall goal of diversifying Utah's energy market, we do not support taxpayer grants of this type, redistributing wealth and incentivizing investment and allocation of resources where it might otherwise not occur.
