Refinancing.
(1) There are two kinds of refinance with different rules: Standard refinance and interim refinance.

(a) Applicants requesting standard refinancing must meet all the requirements contained in the act;
(b) Standard refinance projects will only be funded if there is limited demand for funds for new projects;
(c) All department prerequisites and revolving fund conditions must have been met at the time the project was undertaken;
(d) If multiple standard refinance applications are received, priority will be given based on impacts to the ratepayers in the service area of the project;
(e) Standard refinance projects are not eligible for hardship financial assistance; and
(f) Repayment begins six months after a funding agreement becomes effective.
