Regulatory Requirements for Cogeneration Projects

K. A. Curry

Abstract

In 1978 Congress passed three energy acts that encouraged cogenerators and small power producers by removing existing state and federal controls or exempting qualified energy producers from new regulations. In 1980 new tax incentives were provided for cogenerators and energy conservation.\n \nThis paper outlines the portions of these acts that affect cogenerators and also discusses legal issues raised in two judicial opinions that have been issued that could change fundamental concepts in the acts as passed. \n\nThe possible result of these court actions on the future of cogeneration is also discussed.
