The TERP program continues to evolve so the state makes a point of having public meetings before each round to clear up questions and ask for input from those who apply for TERP grants.
The meeting will start tomorrow at 10:00 am in Austin - link here for more details including a map - if you have the time and interest to attend. That same page has a document of the proposed changes.
I won't go into detail about every point since you can read it yourself and several of the items won't significantly affect our customers, but one item did stand out for heavy construction equipment buyers.
On the Rebate Grant program the state is considering requiring a minimum number of annual hours of use. The current application asks about hours, but they do not affect the grant.
As has been noted here several times Rebate Grants are much better for replacing lower annual hour units. It will be interesting to see what minimum threshold they set.
There are other items on the list. Some apply more to on-road or locomotives and not the focus of this page, heavy construction/mining equipment.
Some items do apply to our products, but they are not changes as much as putting existing policy down on paper which is a must when you do stuff like this.
