Bipartisan Act to Boost U.S. Energy Future with Innovative Financing
Key Ideas
- The Financing Our Energy Future Act aims to expand financing tools to all energy resources, including renewable energy, through master limited partnerships (MLPs).
- Senators Moran and Coons emphasize the need for all energy sources to compete equally to boost domestic energy production and innovation.
- Industry leaders and organizations commend the bipartisan legislation for supporting advanced nuclear energy and other emerging technologies, creating jobs, and improving energy market efficiency.
- The proposed legislation would extend the publicly traded partnership ownership structure to renewable energy power generation projects, providing a level playing field for different energy sectors.
U.S. Senators Jerry Moran and Chris Coons have reintroduced the Financing Our Energy Future Act to expand financing tools to support all types of energy resources and infrastructure projects. The legislation proposes allowing renewable energy resources and infrastructure projects to form as master limited partnerships (MLPs), a tax structure currently limited to traditional energy projects. Newly eligible energy sources under the act would include advanced nuclear, sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogen, biodiesel, biomass, carbon capture, and more. Senator Moran highlights the importance of providing equal access to tax incentives for emerging renewable energy companies to enhance U.S. energy production, foster innovation, and lower consumer prices. Senator Coons underlines the necessity of a level playing field for all energy sources to drive domestic energy production and transition to cleaner energy sources. Industry leaders, such as the Nuclear Innovation Alliance and the Energy Infrastructure Council, praise the bipartisan effort for supporting advanced nuclear energy and various emerging technologies that will increase U.S. competitiveness, create jobs, and improve market efficiency. The proposed legislation seeks to extend the MLP ownership structure to renewable energy power generation projects, aiming to deepen the capital pool, enhance market efficiency, create jobs, and reduce energy costs for consumers. With bipartisan support and endorsements from industry stakeholders, the act intends to incentivize innovative energy technologies, promote economic growth, and advance U.S. global competitiveness in the energy sector.
