在城市的可再生能源发展计划放弃完善基金筹备后，斯巴克斯市政府官员再次向内华达州公共事业委员会提出申请。
斯巴克斯已为众多城市设施制定了一系列太阳能项目资金计划，并通过从内华达州的能源退税，为这些项目筹集资金。
但这个城市的申请未获批准。
市工程师皮特查特说，城市需要退来满足可再生能源的依赖于联邦刺激资金计划的要求。这个城市可能会失去多达50万美元的联邦资金。
无论是公司还是斯巴克斯官员都希望公用事业董事会扩大回退税项目。
RENO, Nev. (AP) - Sparks city officials are appealing to the Nevada Public Utilities Commission after funding complications have left the city's renewable energy development plans in limbo.
Sparks had plans for a series of solar energy projects on numerous city facilities and was banking on funding the projects through rebates from Nevada Energy.
But the city's applications were not approved.
City Engineer Pete Etchart says the city needs rebates to help meet requirements for a renewable energy program tied to federal stimulus funds. The city could lose up to $500,000 in federal funds.
Nevada Energy spokesman John Owens interest in rebates for public buildings exceeded the amount of kilowatts available.
Both the company and Sparks officials want the utility board to expand the rebate program.
