DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Legislative Democrats have unveiled a $10 million package that would give incentives for installation of small solar and wind energy systems at homes and businesses.

The plan announced Wednesday would give consumers rebates for installing the alternative energy systems. Homeowners could get rebates of as much as $3,000 and businesses could receive up to $15,000.

Democrats say the measure they will introduce would provide $4 million to homeowners, which is enough for 1,300 projects. The $6 million for businesses would pay for 400 projects.

They say the incentives would be added to the 30% federal tax credit given for such projects.
