Clean Energy Policy: What Would be the Impact of Expiring Tax Provisions?
Event Tabs Default Post-Event
Agrion and The Pew Charitable Trusts will jointly host a meeting in Washington D.C. that will highlight critical clean energy policy issues that await congressional action following the mid-term elections on November 4th. Due to expired and expiring tax provisions, Congress is likely to consider whether to renew key clean energy policies including the Production Tax Credit for Wind, as well as adopt proposals that would create more certainty in the clean energy marketplace including certainty for investors in industrial efficiency systems, solar, efficiency, and energy storage technologies. The panel will also discuss the Master Limited Partnership status for clean energy projects, a tax status that attracted more than $470 billion in private investment in the oil and gas sector since the 1980s, and parity for combined heat and power and waste heat to power projects under the existing Investment Tax Credit.
Experts from the clean energy sector will speak about the importance of these policies and policy certainty for businesses and market growth.
