There is a great deal of economic and political pressure in Oregon to re-vamp or eliminate the Oregon Business Energy Tax Credit (BETC). This law gives up to a 50% tax credit to Oregon businesses who implement renewable energy production measures. While we at Hire agree that the tax credit needs some tweaking in order to be more effective and remain viable we do see it as an excellent vehicle for creating jobs and building local energy production capacity. Below is a letter from our partners at IBEW Local 48 asking that the BETC remain a part of Oregon’s commitment to renewable energy jobs.
