(a) Each governmental unit shall allocate sufficient moneys for each fiscal year to make payment of any amounts payable by the governmental unit under performance contracts during that fiscal year. (b) The agency engaging in the performance contract shall retain the savings realized by entering into the performance contract. In no event shall the agency utilize such savings to supplant otherwise appropriated funds for the agency. (c) A governmental unit may use funds designated for operating, energy, or capital expenditures for any performance contract, including, without limitation, for purchases on an installment payment or lease purchase basis. (d) Grants, subsidies, or other payments from the State to an agency shall not be reduced as a result of energy savings obtained as a result of a performance contract during the life of the contract. (e) A performance contract, and payments provided there under, may extend beyond the fiscal year in which the performance contract became effective, subject to appropriation of moneys, if required by law, for costs incurred in future fiscal years. The performance contract may extend for a term not to exceed 20 years. (f) No obligation of the State or an agency under an installment payment agreement, a guaranteed energy performance contract or any other agreement entered into in connection with a project under this Chapter 69 or Chapter 80 of this title shall constitute or create a debt of the State or agency. No such obligation of the State or an agency shall constitute a tax supported obligation or a bond or a note of the State as provided in Chapter 74 of this title.
