The Alliance for Industrial Efficiency sent a letter, today, to Pennsylvania State Senator Lisa Boscola, urging her not to go forward with S.B. 805, the Large Commercial and Industrial Opt-Out of Act 129. This bill, if it becomes law, would undermine the success of industrial energy-efficiency initiatives in the state. CHP qualifies as an eligible resource under the state’s current energy-efficiency resource standard (EERS). This means that potential CHP hosts, like hospitals, universities, or manufacturing facilities can receive incentives through the EERS for constructing CHP systems. In this way the EERS helps finance CHP projects and lowers the payback period. S.B. 805 removes this valuable incentive by allowing potential CHP hosts to opt-out of the standard.
