				  for the purpose of ranking applications and making recommendations to the
				  legislature for grants. The evaluation criteria include
(1) the extent to which the proposed project
				  serves an area of the state in which the average cost of energy to each
				  resident of the area exceeds the average cost to each resident of other areas
				  of the state; the authority will give the most weight to the criterion in this
				  paragraph;
(2) the extent to which
				  the applicant will provide matching resources for the project; the authority
				  will give significant weight to the criterion in this paragraph;

				  project, considered with other recommended grants, achieves a statewide balance
				  of grant money; the authority will give significant weight to the criterion in
				  this paragraph;
