Tax Legislation Includes One-Year Extension For Treasury's Popular Cash-Grant Program
in News Departments > Policy Watch
by NAW Staff on Friday 10 December 2010
The Treasury's Section 1603 program, also known as the cash-grant program, will be extended for one year under the text of the tax bill introduced in the Senate Thursday night, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). A cloture vote on the tax bill is scheduled for Monday afternoon at 3 p.m.
"Factories across the country will restart production lines, recall workers and avoid layoffs that would have followed the loss of this key incentive for wind energy," says Denise Bode, CEO of AWEA. "With consistent policies like this one, wind energy can generate 20 percent of America's electricity within 20 years and employ half a million Americans."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., led a group of 17 senators in calling for the Treasury's cash grant program to be included in tax legislation. The program is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and is responsible for $18.2 billion in clean energy investment. It is set to expire at the end of the year.
The senators wrote that they would have difficulty supporting tax legislation that failed to include an extension of the cash-grant program.
"The impact of this program on the clean energy economy has been enormous," the senators wrote. "A study by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found the wind energy projects that were made possible by the [cash-grant program] were responsible for more than 55,000 jobs. Another study by EuPD Research, an independent consulting firm, projects a two-year extension of the [cash-grant program] would mean 65,000 more jobs in the solar industry and enough energy to power 1.2 million homes."
