Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Contracting
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.28.09
In Doing Business with the Government in 2009: New Opportunities for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Contracting in the May 2009 issue of Bloomberg Sustainable Energy Law Reports, J. Catherine Kunz and Steve McBrady of Crowell & Moring examine the federal government's unprecedented investment in renewable energy infrastructure and related research and development via the recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). This substantial federal commitment will generate increased business opportunities for government contractors in energy efficient technology, renewable energy, energy infrastructure, and related fields; however, contractors must be aware that contracting under the ARRA will also require compliance with new regulations and a number of new oversight and reporting requirements.
