Download or read book Federal Loan Guarantees for Energy Projects written by Ronan Sampson and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government has a number of policy tools available to encourage the development and deployment of innovative clean energy technologies. Some of these policy tools include: clean energy mandates, carbon taxes, carbon cap and trade, environmental regulations, loan guarantees, grants, and tax expenditures. In 2005 and 2009, Congress passed legislation that provided loan guarantee authority to the Department of Energy (DOE) for innovative clean energy technologies and clean energy projects. In 2011, the high-profile bankruptcy, and subsequent loan default, of Solyndra resulted in a congressional investigation and subjected DOE's loan guarantee program to a high degree of scrutiny. This book provides analysis of goals for and concerns about the use of loan guarantees as a mechanism to support the deployment of innovative clean energy technologies.

This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Department of Energy's loan guarantee program was designed to give federal support to risky, innovative, clean energy technology. Under a federal loan guarantee, instead of the private sector taking on risk to fund the scaleup of new technology, the government steps in, risking federal dollars on the hopes for success of these energy projects. Through the section 1703 and 1705 programs, the Department guaranteed loans to 30 energy companies, putting about $28 billion of taxpayer money on the line. Easy money combined with political pressure to issue loans before the temporary subsidy program expired led the DOE to rush loan applications. Both the DOE Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office found that DOE did not have the necessary expertise or the metrics to effectively evaluate these loans. A number of companies that received section 1705 loans went into default. In total, over $800 million in taxpayer money has been wasted by this DOE loan program. The GAO estimates that the cost for the current loan guarantees is $2.2 billion. Supporters argue the cost is justified if we can help innovative technologies make the leap to the commercial market. But what if federal meddling in the market actually hurts innovation?

Book excerpt: Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 established DoE¿s loan guarantee program (LGP) for innovative energy projects that should decrease air pollutants or greenhouse gases and that have a reasonable prospect of repayment. For FY 2008 and 2009, Congress authorized the use of borrower fees to pay the costs of loan guarantees; DoE will limit loan guarantees to $38.5 billion. Congress mandated this review of DoE¿s progress in assessing progress in: (1) issuing final regulations; and (2) taking actions to help ensure that the program is managed effectively and to maintain accountability. Also assessed how inherent risks due to the nature of the LGP may affect DoE¿s ability to achieve intended program outcomes. Includes recommendations. Illus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the technical, market, and policy innovations for unlocking sustainable investment in the energy sector. While finalizing this book, the COVID-19 pandemic is cutting a devastating swath through the global economy, causing the biggest fall in energy sector investment, exacerbating the global trade finance gap, worsening signs of growing income inequality, and devastating the health and livelihoods of millions. What is the parallel between the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate change crisis? The impacts of the global pandemic are expected to last for a few years, whereas those associated with the climate crisis will play out over several decades with potentially irreversible consequences. However, both show that the cost of inaction or delay in addressing the risks can lead to devastating outcomes or a greater probability of irreversible, catastrophic damages. In the context of sustainable energy investment and the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy, what ways can financial markets and institutions support net-zero-emission activities and the shift to a sustainable economy, including investment in energy efficiency, low-carbon and renewable energy technologies? This book provides students, policymakers, and energy investment professionals with the knowledge and theoretical tools necessary to address related questions in sustainable energy investment, risk management, and energy innovation agendas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While energy efficiency projects could partly meet new energy demand more cheaply than new supplies, weak economic institutions in developing and transitional economies impede developing and financing energy efficiency retrofits. This book analyzes these difficulties, suggests a 3-part model for projectizing and financing energy efficiency retrofits, and presents thirteen case studies to illustrate the issues and principles involved.
