As the new US administration seek to steer a new direction as recession worsened, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed into law which inclusively considered provisions for efficiency in energy use within.
Significantly, stimulus energy incentives allowed $11 billion for our aging power grid to be upgraded to smart grid technologies. A total of $13.9 billion was allocated to renewable energy transmission and projects, $6.3 billion is given to individual states for their energy efficient programs and $4.5 billion was allocated to overhaul federally owned buildings.
Some future-oriented principles are contained within and $400 million stimulus energy incentives that were allocated to research in order to help in creating the Advanced Research Project Agency - Energy. It is designed to promote 'high risk, high payoff' research which is a collaboration between the government and industry.
Renewable energy projects can qualify for a loan instead of just a federal tax credit, as this act was introduced in the midst of recession and investments squeeze. Significantly, companies find this privilege of utmost importance as investors find no sufficient income to qualify for the previous 30% tax credit. By applying for such a loan at 30% of project value, similar goal can be achieved.
The renewable energy industry will benefit from the stimulus energy incentives provisions for additional access to capital. Those who seek to invest for solar installation in various facilities such as schools, government buildings, and military bases and those who invest in other advanced energy facilities will have access to the tax credits.
These tax credits will now be available through 2012 for wind power investments, and for programs which enable electricity to be generated from ocean power, geothermal, hydropower, biomass or landfill initiatives and are extended where they would have expired.
Over $2 billion have been allocated to fund research and experiments through the ARRA Act in relation to funding experiments and research for carbon capture and storage projects, sequestration. The original content of this bill was adjusted during its passage through the House and the Senate. Provisions for loan guarantees for the nuclear industry and allocations for the coal industry were removed. Meanwhile, energy-related infrastructure spending was retained largely as part of the stimulus energy incentives passed.
The passage of the Stimulus Energy Incentives Act may be joined in consequence by the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) in 2009 in seeking to regulate enterprises energy use through the proposed cap and trade program. Overall government action is already aggressively pinning in the direction of addressing environmental problems caused by energy related emissions, climate change, and greenhouse gas emissions.
