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).

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.
