That sentence, in plain words

This work gets $3,100,000,000. Most of it has no end date. But $224,000,000 for running the office ends on September 30, 2027.

What this is about

This office works on solar, wind and saving power. Program direction means staff and offices. That part has a shorter clock.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
