Advocacy on clean energy tax extenders, including: Reinstatement of the energy efficiency measures and provisions for the non-wind Production Tax Credit technologies (hydropower, waste to energy, biomass, biogas and geothermal) needed to provide a more even competitive environment for investment in these sectors. Going forward, Congress should consider the full landscape of energy-related tax measures, as some are expired, some are soon to be expiring and some are new areas of focus. Advocacy on energy and infrastructure legislation, including: The Leading Infrastructure for Tomorrows America Act (LIFT America Act, H.R. 2741), and multiple bills reported out of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, including: S.1685 introduced by Senator Cornyn (R-TX), the Launching Energy Advancement and Development through Innovations for Natural Gas Act of 2019, which would establish a carbon capture and storage R&D and demonstration program for natural gas fired generation at the Department of Energy. Energy storage legislation including S. 1593 the Promoting Grid Storage Act, introduced by Senators Smith (D-MN) and Collins (R-ME), which would enable state & local governments, utilities, municipal power, and co-ops to apply for competitive grants from the Department of Energy to support their efforts to incorporate storage into long-term planning and grid operations; S. 1602 the Better Energy Storage Technology Act to establish a research, development and demonstration program for grid-scale energy storage systems, introduced by Senator Collins (R-ME). S. 859 introduced by Senator Gardner (R-CO), the Reliable Investment in Vital Energy Reauthorization Act or the RIVER Act, which would reauthorize and extend the hydropower incentive program of the 2005 Energy Policy Act for new hydropower development at existing infrastructure and hydro plant efficiency improvements. Energy efficiency bills, including, S.1857, The Federal Energy and Water Management Performance Act introduced by Senators Murkowski (R-AK) and Manchin (D-WVA); S.1706, The Energy Savings Through Public-Private Partnership Act introduced by Senators Gardner (R-CO) and Coons (D-DE); S. 983 the Weatherization Enhancement and Local Energy Efficiency Investment and Accountability Act also introduced by Senator Coons (D-DE); and S.2137 the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act, introduced by Senators Portman (R-OH) and Shaheen (D-NH). S.2094/H.R. 2114 to provide federal financial assistance to states to implement state energy security plans, introduced by Senator Gardner (R-CO) and Congressman Rush (D-IL). S. 1821, the Marine Energy Research and Development Act of 2019, introduced by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR). Other pieces of legislation addressing research for modernization of the electric grid, grid security, and the energy workforce. Educational meetings with Members of Congress regarding the BCSE-BNEF Sustainable Energy in America Factbook The Clean Energy Business Network (CEBN), an independent initiative of the BCSE, also engages in lobby activity. The CEBN's lobbying activities and expenditures are included in the BCSE's quarterly LD-2 filings. CEBN's activity includes information gathering and advocacy on appropriations for the Department of Energy and extension of expired clean energy tax incentives. The CEBN also participated in information gathering and building awareness before Congress on examples of small and medium-sized businesses across the nation contributing to the clean energy economy. Finally, CEBN helped small businesses craft letters of support for legislation regarding energy storage and natural gas research and expanding the investment tax credit to include waste heat to power. The BCSE also provides administrative service to the Federal Performance Contracting Coalition (FPCC), a coalition of federal energy services contract holders. The FPCC's lobbying activities and expenditures are included in the BCSE's quarterly LD-3 filings. Cascade Associates is a lobbyist for the FPCC. The FPCC contacted: The House of Representatives, Senate, Department of Energy, Office of Management and Budget, Government Services Administration, Council on Environmental Quality, Department of Veterans Affairs, Departments of Navy, Army, and Air Force and the Offices of the Secretary of Defense. The FPCC is working with Members of Congress in developing complimentary policy for Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC.) Specifically, they provided input on language for this Congress version of the Energy Savings Through Public-Private Partnership (S.1706/H.R.3079). They also worked to garner support for the Federal Energy and Water Management Performance Act (S. 1857), and the All-of-the-Above Federal Building Energy Conversation Act (S. 1245/H.R. 2664). The FPCC lobbied for increased funding for the Federal Energy Management Program in the FY20 Energy and Water Appropriations bill and for a $5 million for the Navys Resilience Energy Program Office in the Senate Defense Appropriations bill. They met with members of the Armed Services Committees, Appropriations Committees, House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
