Welcome to the first issue of Holland & Knight's
Government Clean Tech Update, where we'll distill the most
important clean tech updates and government-related market trends
and developments from the past few months, and summarize what they
mean for clean technology companies and investors.
Among the most significant developments during the third quarter
of 2019 is a spate of hearings and legislative action around
mitigating and adapting to climate change. This includes the
introduction and passage through committee of the Senate's
Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Energy and Water Development Appropriations
bill, which included a 17 percent increase over FY 2019 funding
levels for clean tech programs. This issue also outlines 21 bills
that address all aspects of the energy system as well as other key
happenings from around the government.
