Windustry invites you to view the New Federal Tax Exempt Bonding Bill for Community Energy Webinar.

Click here to view the webinar.

About the Webinar:

The proposed Rural Community Renewable Energy Bonds Act (S. 672), introduced by Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) and Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR), would provide tax exempt private purpose bonds to fund locally owned community energy projects, e.g. those under 40 MW with at least 49% local ownership. If enacted, this bill would give local community energy project developers a better alternative to federal renewable energy production tax credit funding.

Please view this webinar to learn more about this legislation and
federal bonding, why our local communities need a new renewable energy
bonding program and what you can do to support S.672.
