Course Materials

This CLE webinar will provide attorneys guidance on critical components of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) related to renewable energy investing, development, and production. The panel will discuss new green energy tax incentives and requirements under the Act, extensions and modifications to an investment tax credit (ITC) and production tax credit (PTC), Section 45Q tax credit and direct pay, the transfer of tax credits to third parties, and other essential items under the Act.

Description

The Act encompasses significant renewables and clean energy initiatives provisions. Counsel must understand essential modifications and inclusions to recognize the Act's impact on renewable energy developers, producers, and investors.

The Act expands tax incentives for various renewable energy resources, reshapes how eligible renewable energy projects are financed, and monetizes new and expanded tax credits. The Act includes (1) modifications to ITC, PTC, and carbon capture requirements and limitations; (2) the inclusion of a "direct pay" option for tax credits under certain circumstances; (3) the inclusion of a tax credit transfer regime; and (4) a variety of new energy tax credits.

Listen as our panel discusses new green energy tax incentives and requirements under the Act, extensions and modifications to an ITC and PTC, Section 45Q tax credit and direct pay, the transfer of tax credits to third parties, and other critical items under the Act.
