Appropriations Committee has approved $4.94 million for the REPI program for FY <br />2007. However, Congress has not finalized the Energy and Water Development <br />appropriations bill; until they do, REPI is being funded at the FY 20061evel, which is <br />$4.96 million. <br />For the past 15 years REPI has been the primary federal program for assisting public <br />power systems in overcoming economic barriers to greater renewable energy use. But the <br />program has been consistently over-subscribed and under-funded, and should be funded <br />at a substantially higher level to accomplish its purpose. <br />Congress should continue to fund the REPI program but at much higher levels than <br />have been requested by DOE in the past. <br />Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association <br />February 2008 <br />
