HB0319

Extension of Sales Tax Exemption for Renewable Energy Equipment

Last scannedOct 19, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This law delays the end date for a sales tax exemption on equipment used to generate electricity from renewable resources.

What it does

  • Extends the expiration date for the sales and use tax exemption from June 30, 2008, to June 30, 2012.
  • Defines renewable resources for this exemption as wind generation, solar, biomass, landfill gas, hydro, hydrogen, and geothermal energy.
  • Limits the exemption to equipment needed to make a project operational up to the point of interconnection with an existing transmission grid.
  • Excludes tools and equipment used in construction, contracted services for construction and routine maintenance, and equipment acquired after the project is operational.
  • Requires the Department of Revenue to report on the total fiscal impact of these exemptions to the Governor and the Joint Revenue Interim Committee by September 1, 2009.

Who it affects

  • Businesses that buy or lease equipment to generate electricity from renewable resources.
  • The Wyoming Department of Revenue, which must file a report on the tax impact.
  • The Governor and the Joint Revenue Interim Committee, who will receive the report.

Limits and unknowns

  • The exemption does not cover tools used for construction, contracted services for construction or routine maintenance, or equipment acquired after the project is operational.
  • The law does not include provisions for 'leading edge technologies' or nuclear power, as those amendments were not part of the final enacted text provided.
