Get on the Energy Omnibus: After-Effects of FY2016 Omnibus Bill and the FY 2017 Budget on Tax Credits, Renewable Energy, and Distributed Generation

Why Should You Attend:

In this webinar, the instructor will analyze the new incentives for tax credits and renewable energy contained in Congress’s FY 2016 Omnibus Bill and compares these changes with President Obama’s goals for FY2017.
