Yesterday, the Alliance filed comments on the House Ways and Means Tax Policy Subcommittee’s May 12th Member Day Hearing on Tax Legislation urging the subcommittee to support policies that would help advance the deployment of combined heat and power (CHP) and waste heat to power (WHP). Our comments highlight the economic, reliability, and environmental benefits of CHP and WHP and encourages the Committee to support several complementary proposals:
- The Technologies for Energy Security Act (H.R. 5167), introduced by Representative Tom Reed (R-NY-23) and H.R. 5172, introduced by Representative Patrick Meehan (R-PA-7). The Alliance further urges the subcommittee to expand these proposals to include a modest amendment to support WHP deployment;
- The Power Efficiency and Resiliency Act (the “POWER Act,” H.R. 2657); and
- The Master Limited Partnership Parity Act (H.R. 2883).
