Support lower rates on taxation of dividends. Tax reform proposals. Tax extenders. Promote the development of the natural gas vehicle market by supporting various incentives. Support incentives to produce biogas. Support incentives for high efficiency natural gas furnaces, boilers and water heaters (25C tax credits). Support incentives for energy efficiency buildings (179D). Tax Credits: The carryover of excess corporate charitable contributions. This issue arose in H.R.4016 - to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the limitation on the carryover of excess corporate charitable contributions. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to increase the carryover period for charitable contributions from 5 years to 20 years. Increasing the 5 year carryover period to 20 years would eliminate the penalty present in current law that is particularly problematic for our companies, which operate in regulated industries and generally make significant annual charitable contributions to community charities in their operating jurisdictions. This issue is more acute for companies in our industries - regulated electric and gas utilities - because we are among the most capital intensive industries in the country. Each year, the electric and gas utilities are spending more than $100 billion in investments to improve system safety and reliability while offering an important source of much-needed, high-quality jobs. Tax Credits: The investment tax credit for combined heat and power. This issue arose in H.R. 2657 - Power Efficiency and Resiliency Act (POWER Act) - to alter Section 48 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to increase and alter the investment tax credit for combined heat and power. This bill would amends Section 48 of the tax code to provide parity for combined heat and power (CHP) with other forms of energy. The bill would increase the investment tax credit for CHP from 10% to 30% and would apply to the first 25 MW of a project instead of the first 15MW. Tax Parity: S. 1516 - Power Efficiency and Resiliency Act (POWER Act) This bill would amends Section 48 of the tax code to provide parity for combined heat and power (CHP) with other forms of energy. The bill would increase the investment tax credit for CHP from 10% to 30% and would apply to the first 25 MW of a project instead of the first 15MW. Tax Credits: Combined Heat and Power, Fuel Cells and Microturbines Investment Tax Credit Extension Past 2016. At the end of 2015 connected to the omnibus spending and tax legislation, Congress passed a long term extension of both the production tax credit for wind and investment tax (ITC) credit for solar. Other technologies that have (and currently do through the end of 2016) qualified for these credits were not provided with extensions or modifications. Those technologies that did not receive an extension include fuel cells, geothermal, small wind energy, microturbines, and combined heat and power (CHP). Fuel cells, microturbines and CHP utilize natural gas as an energy source and are viewed as emerging markets for natural gas utilities. In order to avoid serious market disruption to and provide for short- to mid-term planning for still nascent industries, AGA is working to extend the tax credit this year. Tax Parity: S. 2378 - Waterway LNG Parity Act of 2015. This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to modify the excise tax rate for the Inland Waterways Trust Fund to equal 29 cents per gallon or the per energy equivalent of a gallon of diesel in the case of liquefied natural gas, as defined by this Act. Currently, the fuel tax on liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels is the same as the diesel tax on a per-gallon basis. However, because a gallon of LNG contains less energy than a gallon of diesel, in effect LNG is taxed at 170 percent of the diesel tax rate.

SUPPORT: The IBEW urged Congress to support language found in Section 4302 of the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015 that would help address grid reliability in deregulated electricity markets. Competitive market conditions, cumulative environmental regulations, and capacity market rules that disadvantage base load power generation has made the grid more dependent on less reliable resources. Under these conditions, it has been difficult for base load generation to clear capacity market auctions thus placing grid reliability at risk. Section 4302 is an attempt to fix this problem. SUPPORT: The Plains & Eastern Clean Line is an approximately 700-mile direct current transmission line that will deliver wind energy from the Oklahoma Panhandle region to utilities and customers in the Mid-South and Southeastern United States. The project meets the Section 1222 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 USC 16421) authority to approve a major interstate electrical transmission plan. IBEW strongly supports section 1222 authority and has opposed efforts by any member of congress to offer bills or amendments to any bill circumventing that authority. The IBEW urged members of the US House of Rep. to cosponsor and support H.R. 4016 which extends the limitation on carryover of excess Corporate Charitable contributions for utility companies.

SUPPORT: The IBEW urged Congress to support language found in Section 4302 of the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015 that would help address grid reliability in deregulated electricity markets. Competitive market conditions, cumulative environmental regulations, and capacity market rules that disadvantage base load power generation has made the grid more dependent on less reliable resources. Under these conditions, it has been difficult for base load generation to clear capacity market auctions thus placing grid reliability at risk. Section 4302 is an attempt to fix this problem. SUPPORT: The Plains & Eastern Clean Line is an approximately 700-mile direct current transmission line that will deliver wind energy from the Oklahoma Panhandle region to utilities and customers in the Mid-South and Southeastern United States. The project meets the Section 1222 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 USC 16421) authority to approve a major interstate electrical transmission plan. IBEW strongly supports section 1222 authority and has opposed efforts by any member of congress to offer bills or amendments to any bill circumventing that authority. The IBEW urged members of the US House of Rep. to cosponsor and support H.R. 4016 which extends the limitation on carryover of excess Corporate Charitable contributions for utility companies.
