In a recent letter, SMACNA urged the U.S. Senate to support S. 1841, The Financing Our Energy Future Act.  This important legislation would greatly expand financing options for energy saving performance contracting (ESPC), building retrofits, industrial market efficiency projects and combined heat, carbon capture and waste heat to power (CHP/WHP) systems.  S. 1841 simply expands the definition of “qualified” sources for MLP investments to include ESPCs, clean energy resources and a variety of infrastructure projects.
