United States Stimulus Act Guide to

Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds


This program, created in 2008, allows governments to issue bonds and use the proceeds to reduce energy consumption in publicly-owned buildings, implement green community programs, produce electricity from renewable energy resources for rural areas, build research facilities and provide grants to support development of “green” technologies, reduce pollution from mass commuter vehicles, and advance other green technologies and

infrastructure. A total of $3.2 billion has been authorized for the program, which is allocated to the states in proportion to the population of the state. The 2009 Stimulus Package expands the use of QECBs to allow governments to make loans to individuals for green community programs – for instance, financing loans for homeowners to retrofit their

homes with energy conservation products.


The Treasury has not yet released regulations related to Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds.


It is recommended that anyone municipal government interested in this program, contact a firm experienced in tax credit bonds. McLiney And Company is the nation’s leading firm in these type tax-credit bond firm.
