Chapter 470 — Small Scale Local Energy Projects

ORS 470.200 Refinancing of project; use of funds

If any small scale local energy project is refinanced or an additional grant or loan intended to finance the project development is obtained from other sources after the execution of the loan from the state, all such funds shall be used to repay the state unless the Director of the State Department of Energy finds that repayment of the state from the additional grant or loan would be contrary to public interest.
