Daily edition | Nov. 6, 2019 Note from the editor Tax credit rumors and whispers of support for a legislative extension have swept through Congress all year. And it's not the only energy issue that's moving forward in the split Senate and House of Representatives.
To better follow the critical bills being supported by key segments of the industry, Utility Dive is publishing a Congressional tracker. We will be updating this page well through the end of the 116th session of Congress, to help you see where federal legislators are focused when it comes to grid security, electric vehicles and more.
Are there any aspects of federal energy policymaking that you want to understand better? We'd like to help. Let us know your questions as we work to improve our new tracker.
Thanks for reading,
