FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 PROPOSED BUDGET
The proposed consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 amounts to $21,412,000. This amount includes $301,000 from the Joint Resolution - General Funds, $ 20,000,000 in State Special Funds, $1, 082,000 in Federal Grants and $29,000 in Special Appropriations.
Operational Expenses reflect a decrease of $82,782,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012 because the agency no longer receives funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and due to the implementation of an early retirement incentive program.
State Special Funds are assigned through legislation, Act 83-2010, known as the Puerto Rico Green Energy Incentives Act, which created the Puerto Rico Green Energy Fund. As of 2012, this fund will receive revenues made from motor vehicle and motorcycle taxes collected by the Department of Treasury and will be used to promote the creation of new green energy markets and the development of mechanisms to grant incentives for the establishment, organization and operation of green and sustainable energy in Puerto Rico in order to generate savings and efficiencies.
Contributing federal programs include the State Energy Program, which grants resources for administrative expenses related to the development of energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources projects. The Agency expects an increase in Federal funding through the State Energy Program Formula Grant.
