Overview
In August 2022, the federal government passed a historic piece of legislation aimed at overhauling the domestic clean energy industry from the ground up. The IRA greatly incentivizes not only the onshoring of domestic manufacturing for clean components and critical minerals that are needed to build up our domestic supply chain, but it also incentivizes the creation of a domestic workforce capable of constructing, operating and repairing these clean energy assets throughout their useful lives.
This presentation will cover some of the unique aspects of the IRA that allow for new ways to monetize or maximize clean energy credits and discuss the different types of clean energy credits and deductions that the IRA created or enhanced.
