AWEA chief Bode announces resignation effective 1 January

American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) chief executive Denise Bode will resign effective 1 January to return to private practice as a tax attorney, a decision that leaves the industry without a high-profile leader amid uncertainty over its near-term future.

Bode served in the post since 1 January 2009. AWEA board chairman Tom Carnahan says that Rob Gramlich, senior vice president for public policy, agreed to serve as interim replacement through a transition period.

“There is now a strong, bipartisan team of Congressional champions for the wind industry, and the all-important extension of the Production Tax Credit (PTC),” Bode says. “When that is secured, all of my goals from the AWEA board will have been accomplished.”

If, and when, Congress will renew the PTC, and for how long, is unclear. The federal tax Log in to read complete article.
