The 2009 GEED was an outstanding event. The highlight? An inspiring keynote address by the new Secretary of Energy, Dr. Steven Chu, who spoke to a packed room in the Dirksen Senate Office Building about the major role energy efficiency will play in America's energy portfolio.
We would like to thank those Alliance Associates who sponsored this event: Austin Energy, the Nuclear Energy Institute, Southern Company, Trane and United Technologies Corporation. GEED's success was in no small part due to their support.

 The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) extends, expands, and simplifies the federal income tax credits for homeowners who make energy efficiency home improvements.
The law extends the consumer tax benefits for another year, through 2010; triples the total available tax credit from $500 to $1,500; and increases the tax credit to 30 percent of the cost of each qualified energy efficiency improvement. The law also removes the cap on geothermal heat pumps and solar water heaters through 2016.
For details on the 2009 consumer tax credits, check out our recently updated Energy-Efficiency Home and Vehicle Tax Credits web page. |
