By:/s/ Phillip Goldstein By:/s/ Andrew Dakos Phillip Goldstein Andrew Dakos BULLDOG INVESTORS, LLP By:/s/ Andrew Dakos Andrew Dakos, Partner Exhibit B: Special Opportunities Fund, Inc. 615 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, WI 53202 November 7, 2021 Diane M. Bono, Secretary Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. 5100 W. 115th Place Leawood, Kansas 66211 Attention: The Board of Directors Dear Directors: Special Opportunities Fund is the beneficial owner of shares of Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. with a value in excess of $2,000.00. It has held these shares continuously for more than 12 months and plans to continue to hold them through the next meeting of shareholders. We hereby submit the following proposal and supporting statement pursuant to rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for inclusion in management's proxy materials for the next meeting of stockholders for which this proposal is timely submitted. ******* RESOLVED: The shareholders of Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the Fund) request that the Board of Directors authorize a self-tender offer for all outstanding common shares of the Fund at or close to net asset value (NAV). If more than 50% of the Fund's outstanding common shares are submitted for tender, the Board is requested to cancel the tender offer and take those steps that the Board is required to take to cause the Fund to be liquidated or converted to (or merged with) an exchange traded fund (ETF) or an open-end mutual fund. SUPPORTING STATEMENT Since its IPO on July 28, 2009 through October 31, 2021, the Fund returned 5.34% per year based upon NAV but only 4.25% based upon market price. Thus, the discount has cost shareholders almost 1% per year over that time span. Over the past three years, the discount has averaged about 15% and is currently about that same level. In August 2021, the Board made a weak attempt to narrow the discount by adopting a managed distribution policy but that move has had no apparent effect on the discount. Thus, shareholders seeking to sell shares still can only do so at a hefty discount from NAV. In addition, the Board of Directors has adopted certain arguably illegal anti-takeover measures to insulate itself from shareholders that are unhappy about the Fund's persistently wide discount. Consequently, we think it is appropriate for the Board to authorize a self-tender offer for the Fund's shares at or close to NAV to afford shareholders an opportunity to sell their shares at a price that is greater than the market price. If a majority of the Fund's outstanding common shares are tendered, that would demonstrate that there is insufficient shareholder support for continuing the Fund in its closed-end format. In that case, we think the tender offer should be cancelled and the Fund should be liquidated or converted into (or merged with) an ETF or an open-end mutual fund. If you agree that it is time to implement more effective measures to address the Fund's persistent discount, please vote for this (non-binding) proposal. Very truly yours, /S/ Phillip Goldstein Phillip Goldstein Chairman
