<p class="MsoNormal">Epact 2005 tax credits were extended to 2013 in the recent “Stimulus Package.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m looking at a page on the DOE web site that lists approved software used obtain Epact 2005 tax credits, and I notice eQuest is not specifically listed. DOE-2.1 is listed however. Does anyone know if eQuest will be acceptable for EPact
2005 simulations?<o:p></o:p></p>
