18-3202. Legislative findings.
The Legislature finds that:
(1) Energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy are important for preserving the health and economic well-being of Nebraska’s citizens. Using less energy decreases the cost of living and keeps the cost of public power low by delaying the need for additional power plants. By building the market for energy efficiency and renewable energy products, new jobs will be created for Nebraskans in the energy efficiency and renewable energy job sectors;
(2) To further these goals, the state should promote energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems;
(3) The upfront costs for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems prohibit many property owners from making improvements. Therefore, it is necessary to authorize municipalities to implement an alternative financing method through the creation of clean energy assessment districts; and
(4) A public purpose will be served by providing municipalities with the authority to finance the installation of energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems through the creation of clean energy assessment districts.
