Energy/Nuclear ENG
S. 2012 - Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015 This bill is also known as the Senate energy bill. Washington Gas supports the bill because it includes a provision that would repeal the ban on fossil fuel-generated energy use in Federal buildings; a provision that clarifies that the term of a utility energy service contract (UESCs) can extend beyond 10 years, but not exceed 25 years, correcting a belief within DOD that contracts with UESCs can only be up to 10 years; a provision that would allow multiple rating systems, such as the source-based Green Globes certification program, to be adopted by the Federal government; and a provision that would provide methane hydrate research and development.
