Can improvements to a brownfield be considered when filing for a 1603 grant?

Question:

In a brownfield repowering, is the brownfield facility part of the eligible basis for the grant or only the “improvements”. For example, if I bought a mothballed facility for $10mm, and then put $10mm more into it to get it running, is the basis for the grant $10mm or $20mm??
