Book Description
The nation originally invested in electrical power programs as a way of fostering regional development and promoting competition in power markets. Many of the projects serve multiple purposes, such as flood control and irrigation. But as concerns have risen about the efficiency of the government power operations and the federal budget, some people question the wisdom of continuing government ownership of power assets. This study, prepared by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in response to a request from the House Committee on the Budget, reviews the arguments for changing the management of federal power programs and describes three options for change: management reform, transfer to local governments, and privatization. The study presents estimates of the potential market value of federal power assets and the budgetary impact of selling them.

Electricity Generation Projects
Author: United States. Government Accountability Office
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electric power production
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
The states and the federal government have supported the development of electricity generation projects in a variety of ways. In recent years, state and federal supports have been targeted toward renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, although there have been some supports for projects using traditional sources -- natural gas, coal, and nuclear. GAO was asked to examine state and federal supports for the development of utility-scale electricity generation projects, power plants with generating capacities of at least 1 MW that are connected to the grid and intend to sell electricity, for fiscal years 2004 through 2013. This report (1) identifies key state supports for these projects; (2) examines key federal support provided through outlays, loan programs, and tax expenditures for these projects; and (3) examines how state and federal supports affect the development of new renewable projects. GAO modeled the impact of reducing federal tax expenditures on project finances. Congress should consider directing IRS to (1) collect and report project-level data from all taxpayers who claim the ITC and (2) collect and report similar data for taxpayers who claim the PTC.
