2013-S2520 - Summary

Creates the clean fuel and job creation tax credit of 2014 to incentivize power plants to repower existing facilities or construct new facilities which use cleaner burning fuels or add significant pollution control technologies.

2013-S2520 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S2520

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the public service law and the tax
law, in relation to creating the clean fuel and job creation tax
credit of 2013 to incentivize power plants to repower existing
facilities or construct new facilities which use cleaner burning fuels
or add significant pollution control technologies

PURPOSE:  To create the clean fuel and job creation tax credit to
incentivize power plants to repower existing facilities or construct
new facilities which use cleaner burning fuels or add significant
pollution control technologies.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill amends the public service law to authorize the
department of public service to request information from the
department of taxation and finance in relation to electric generating
facilities that have received a clean fuel and job creation tax
credit.

Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 of the bill amend various sections of the tax
law to establish the clean fuel and job creation tax credit, and set
forth how it will be applied.

Section 7 is the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:  Many power plants in NYS are contemplating repowering
or making other investments in infrastructure in order to meet new
environmental standards and to remain competitive in the marketplace.
Some power plants are even considering the construction of new
electric generating units on the same or adjacent property in order to
remain competitive and improve their overall environmental
performance.  Enhancing competition and improving environmental
compliance are worthy goals that should be encouraged and
incentivized.

Unfortunately, many of these power plants are prevented from taking
steps to repower or otherwise improve their infrastructure and
environmental profile because of the high costs associated with doing
so. By creating a meaningful tax credit based on beneficial
investments in electric generating facilities, these power plants will
be able to lower the cost of repowering and other infrastructure
upgrade projects. This tax credit, which ranges from 12.5% to 20%
based on the amount of the investment, will encourage power plants to
undertake important investment projects which will result in a
cleaner, stronger and more modem generating.  fleet. It will also
allow the power plant to maintain job levels and pave the way for job
growth.

Further, these power plants often represent a significant portion of
the local tax base for the municipality where they are located. Loss
of such local tax base will be devastating for these communities. By
providing an appropriate tax credit for repowering and other
infrastructure projects, this legislation will allow power plants to
become more competitive and remain in operation for a longer period of


time. This is a significant benefit for our local communities due to
the local tax revenue that will be maintained and because of the jobs
it will create in the local economy.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:  New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:  To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after
it shall become a law.

                                BILL NUMBER:S2520B

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the public service law and the tax
law, in relation to creating the clean fuel and job creation tax
credit to incentivize power plants to repower existing facilities or
construct new facilities which use cleaner burning fuels or add
significant pollution control technologies

PURPOSE:  To create the clean fuel and job creation tax credit to
incentivize power plants to repower existing facilities or construct
new facilities which use cleaner burning fuels or add significant
pollution control technologies.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill amends the public service law to authorize the
department of public service to request information from the
department of taxation and finance in relation to electric generating
facilities that have received a clean fuel and job creation tax
credit.

Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 of the bill amend various sections of the tax
law to establish the clean fuel and job creation tax credit, and set
forth how it will be applied.

Section 7 is the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:  Many power plants in NYS are contemplating repowering
or making other investments in infrastructure in order to meet new
environmental standards and to remain competitive in the marketplace_
Some power plants are even considering the construction of new
electric generating units on the same or adjacent property in order to
remain competitive and improve their overall environmental
performance.  Enhancing competition and improving environmental
compliance are worthy goals that should he encouraged and
incentivized.

Unfortunately, many of these bower plants are prevented from taking
steps to re-power or otherwise improve their infrastructure and
environmental profile because of the high costs associated with doing
so. By creating a meaningful tax credit based on beneficial
investments in electric generating facilities, these power plants will
be able to lower the cost of renowering and other infrastructure
upgrade projects. This tax credit, which ranges from 12.5% to 20%
based on the amount of the investment, will encourage power plants to
undertake important investment projects which will result in a
cleaner, stronger and more modem generating fleet. It will also allow
the power plant to maintain job levels and pave the way for job
growth.

Further, these power plants often represent a significant portion of
the local tax base for the municipality where they are located, Loss
of such local tax base will be devastating for these communities. By
providing an appropriate tax credit for repowering and other
infrastructure projects, this legislation will allow power plants to
become more competitive and remain in operation for a longer period of
time. This is a significant benefit for our local communities due to


the local tax revenue that will be maintained and because of the jobs
it will create in the local economy.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after
it shall become a law.
