S. 1419
Marine and Hydrokinetic Renewable Energy Act of 2014
As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
on November 13, 2014
SUMMARY
S. 1419 would authorize appropriations for activities aimed at promoting the development
of marine and hydrokinetic energy devices that produce energy from moving water. The
bill also would authorize the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to issue
licenses for pilot projects to test new hydrokinetic technologies.
Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing
S. 1419 would cost $192 million over the 2015-2019 period. Pay-as-you-go procedures do
not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.
S. 1419 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary effect of S. 1419 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 270 (energy).
