This webinar will provide an overview of tax incentives and grant programs within the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). These two laws contain hundreds of billions of new dollars for clean energy development and deployment. The discussion will include strategies on how best to utilize these programs to realize up to 50% and in some cases even 70% tax credits for certain projects and, when paired with new and existing grant programs, potentially shorten project payback timelines to months, rather than years.
