Beginning July 1, 2026, the law creates the Wyoming energy dominance fund, run by the Wyoming Energy Authority. It receives money designated by law, grants, gifts, transfers, bequests, donations, and investment earnings. The authority has ongoing permission to spend this money on authorized projects beyond its administrative work. For fiscal years 2023–2026, two-thirds of specified severance tax revenue is split equally between the mineral trust and school funds. In fiscal year 2027, that two-thirds share goes to the energy fund, capped at $105 million. Amounts above the cap are split equally between the permanent Wyoming mineral trust fund and the common school account. From fiscal year 2028 onward, specified revenue goes two-thirds to the mineral trust fund and one-third to the school account. The energy fund authorization ends December 31, 2028; money both unspent and uncommitted returns to the mineral trust reserve account. This funding does not provide direct household payments.
Beginning July 1, 2026, the Wyoming Energy Authority must accept grant and loan applications at least once every four months. Applications go through concept papers, full applications, public comments, attorney general legal review, and a governor's review and decision. The attorney general must certify each award's legality in an opinion shared with the authority. Before spending, the authority must give at least 30 days' notice explaining each expense's purposes and goals to three legislative groups. These are the Management Council, Joint Appropriations Committee, and Joint Minerals, Business and Economic Development Interim Committee. The Management Council reviews spending plans and makes recommendations by majority vote. Recipients must report spending and progress quarterly, then submit a final report listing accomplishments and a cumulative financial audit. Recipients pay for that audit; these rules are part of the fund provisions repealed December 31, 2028.
Beginning July 1, 2026, the Wyoming Energy Authority can award grants for energy research, demonstrations, pilot projects, and commercial development. Eligible work includes coal innovation and coal-fired power; trona and bentonite development; natural gas; enhanced oil recovery; pipelines; and energy exports. It also includes uranium conversion, enrichment, and fuel fabrication; rare earth and critical mineral processing and manufacturing; baseload energy; and grid innovations. Wind and solar projects cannot receive grants, and applicants must secure $1 in nonstate money for each $1 awarded. In-kind contributions and prior applicant investment or spending do not count; grant authority ends December 31, 2028.
Beginning July 1, 2026, the Wyoming Energy Authority can lend money for eligible energy research, demonstrations, pilots, and commercial projects. Wind and solar projects are excluded; applicants must provide adequate collateral and a written business case showing funding sources for all expected costs. Interest equals the New York Federal Reserve's reported federal funds rate minus 1 percentage point, with a 0% floor. The origination or guarantee fee must be at least 1% of the loan, and terms cannot exceed 10 years. Repayments go to the permanent Wyoming mineral trust fund reserve account; loan authority ends December 31, 2028.
