The Energy Freedom Program (Program) is administered by the Washington Department of Commerce in consultation with other state agencies. The Program includes the Energy Freedom Account, which provides financial and technical assistance for bioenergy production, research, and market development, primarily in the form of loans used to convert farm products, organic wastes, cellulose and biogas into electricity, biofuel, and related coproducts. The Program also includes the Green Energy Incentive Account, which provides financial assistance for alternative fueling infrastructure along Interstate corridors. Funds have yet to be appropriated for these accounts, which are set to expire June 30, 2016. (Reference House Bill 2289, 2009, and Revised Code of Washington 43.325)
