"Today, Congressional leaders fulfilled their promise to level the playing field for a variety of advanced energy technologies, giving the industry a better chance to grow," said Malcolm Woolf, Senior Vice President for Policy at Advanced Energy Economy. "This legislation provides the market certainty that will support investment in technologies like fuel cells, combined heat and power, energy efficiency, geothermal, and advanced nuclear. This will help the $200 billion U.S. advanced energy industry add thousands of jobs to the more than 3 million workers already employed in advanced energy, driving economic growth, and increasing domestic manufacturing.
"While there is still more work to be done to fully capture the benefits of energy storage, we applaud the leadership of congressional champions to move us to a more secure, clean, and affordable energy system," said Woolf.
