Background:
Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, tax-exempt entities like local governments, schools, hospitals, public housing administrators, public utilities, and community organizations can get Direct Pay tax credits when they build renewable energy projects like solar, wind, or electric vehicle charging stations for the first time ever. This is an unprecedented opportunity to build sustainable energy infrastructure, clean up our air and water, and create good green jobs. Join Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center (CPCC), and Environmental Protection Network (EPN) to learn more about Direct Pay and hear examples of how NGOs, religious organizations, community-based organizations, and other 501(c)3s can seize this opportunity. This virtual briefing is designed to help community leaders better understand how to use direct pay to claim federal clean energy incentives.
The webinar will provide insight into navigating domestic content requirements, labor standards, project documentation, bonus credits, and more.
During the training, you will:
-Master the basics of direct pay, such as why this is such a huge opportunity, what entities and projects are eligible, and how direct pay works in practice.
-Learn how entities eligible for direct pay can leverage Lawyers for Good Government's Tax Navigator to get set up for success in the filing process.
-Gain understanding of the mechanisms and tools to weave together multiple sources of funding and finance to maximize clean energy project viability by exploring Atlas Public Policy's Project Finance Hub.
This training will provide actionable information and resources to be able to bring clean energy projects online in your own backyards.
