SUMMARY:Market Series: Direct Pay/Elective Pay
DESCRIPTION:This panel discussion\, co-hosted by Interfaith Power & Light\, will explore the recently introduced “Direct Pay” or Elective Pay Solar PV Incentive\, made available through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Historically\, the significant tax credit (up to 30%) for solar system purchases was accessible only to taxpayers\, excluding non-profits. With the IRA’s passage\, non-profits can now apply for a federal reimbursement check covering 30% of the cost of a solar PV project. \nThe discussion will cover: \n\nSteps non-profits can take to access this incentive.\nKey considerations for deciding whether to rent or own a solar system.\n\nSpeakers: \n\nJoelle Novey\, Director\, Interfaith Power & Light\nA.C. Meyer\, Senior Staff Attorney\, Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG)\nJillian Blanchard\, Director\, Climate Change & Environmental Justice Program\, Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG)\nCami Thompson\, Director of Finance\, RE-volv\n\nModerator: \n\nCindy McCabe\, Director of Renewable Energy\, Montgomery County Green Bank\n\nBook your spot today!

SUMMARY:The Climate Mobilization : Making MoCo buildings climate friendly
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, February 4 at 7:30PM.\nCouncilmember Evan Glass\, MoCo Green Bank CEO Stephen Morel and others will share their views on the BEPS regulations that the County Council will vote on in February. Learn what YOU can do to ensure the councilmembers vote YES\, making our apartment buildings\, condos\, offices\, and other buildings healthier\, safer\, and more affordable! \nBuildings covered by these regulations produce nearly 25% of MoCo greenhouse gas emissions. The County Council is now reviewing and will vote whether to approve the regulations needed to implement the Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) Law that was passed in 2022\, requiring buildings to become more energy efficient.\nThe efficiency requirements will require most buildings to convert from gas to electricity\, since heat pump space and water heating are 3-4 times more efficient than burning fossil fuels. This will \n\nreduce energy bills\nimprove safety and public health\nsignificantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions\n\nThis benefits everyone in the county\, not just the residents and workers in those buildings. \nClick on the “Register on Zoom” button and join us at the TCM webinar on Tuesday\, February 4 at 7:30pm where we will learn about BEPS and how it can help us – but only if the County approves the regulations. We will introduce you to our Action Alert\, where you can directly email your councilmembers in support of the regulations. \nFor questions\, contact us at: montgomerycountyTCM@gmail.com \nPlease share this email with everyone who might be interested!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister on Zoom
