The act creates the Renewable Energy Pilot Program for State Parks. In consultation with the Public Service Commission (PSC), the Department of Natural Resources must develop a pilot program where 100% of the energy needs of a selected state park is met with energy from renewable resources. The department may contract for the energy with any electric utility, regardless if its rates are regulated by the PSC or not, and no such contract shall impact any regulatory authority of the PSC. The department must select the state park by August 28, 2013 and should strive to complete the pilot program by August 28, 2018. Starting August 28, 2012, the department must annually report to the General Assembly if the goal of the pilot program has been met, and if not, the report must provide an explanation and suggest alternatives. If the program is not completed by August 28, 2018, the requirement to annually report continues indefinitely.
