The analysis of the legal aspects of cogeneration involved an evaluation of federal, state and local regulatory and financial incentives and restrictions affecting the planning and development of cogeneration projects in the City of Chicago. Two areas were of particular importance. The first is the impact of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 which provides a market for power sales by cogenerators and exempts them from utility-type regulation. The second concerns recently enacted changes to the Internal Revenue Code which provide tax-related incentives for cogeneration project financing, such as energy tax credits, accelerated depreciation and modified leasing rules.
