STATEMENT OF AWEA CEO DENISE BODE ON PROPOSAL TO EXPAND ADVANCED ENERGY MANUFACTURING TAX CREDIT

The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) today issued the following statement by AWEA CEO Denise Bode on legislation introduced by U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown to expand the Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit (48C) program for renewable energy:

“The American wind energy industry welcomes Senator Brown’s commitment to creating American jobs and shares the conviction that a clean energy economy will drive such job creation. The time for action is now. The rate of wind turbine manufacturing investment in the U.S. has slowed, and at the end of the year our industry could be hiring or firing depending on the policies we put in place. We look forward to working with Senator Brown and with Congress on enacting the most effective measures to boost wind turbine manufacturing investment in our country.”
