Solar & Storage Finance USA 2022 | Solar Media Limited | 4 October 2022 | The New Yorker Hotel, 481 8th Ave, New York, NY 10001, United States

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is the most significant piece of funding for America’s response to the climate crisis and energy security at US$369 billion. It could cut emissions by 2030 up to 41% against 2003 levels, based on modelling by Energy Innovation.

The IRA would see the investment tax credit (ITC) reinstated at the rate of 30% and the production tax credit (PTC) at 1.5 cents per kWh (the PTC would be available for solar facilities). Neither would phasedown for projects placed into service in 2022 or later but would be subject to phasedown once annual greenhouse gas emissions fall by at least 75% from 2022 levels. The ITC would include a 30% standalone credit for energy storage which met the same conditions.

A 10% local content bonus would be on offer as well as a 10% bonus for projects built within certain communities where ties to traditional energy sources exist.

Loans would be available from the DOE, drawn from a US$40 billion pot under Section 1703 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and a US$5 billion fund for activities covered by Section 1706 of the act. Other provisions have also been made for EVs, hydrogen and energy efficiency.

Hurdles remain in terms of getting understanding the implications of the Act which will be discussed at the 9th edition of Solar & Storage Finance USA.

You will hear directly from funds, banks, developers and utilities who will discuss next steps for the industry. Collocated with the inaugural Wind Finance & Investment Summit, these events will dig into the next phase of renewables in the USA.
