Utility Acquisition of Renewable Projects – A Discussion of the Legal and Tax Issues Regarding Utilities, Developers and Tax Equity

Overview



Video: Utility Acquisition of Renewable Projects – A Discussion of the Legal and Tax Issues Regarding Utilities, Developers and Tax Equity webinar, part of McDermott’s 2020 programming (runtime: 1h1m)

Increasingly, utilities are replacing older generation fleets with more cost-effective generation technologies. Renewables are cost-competitive alternatives in this effort for a number of reasons, including the current tax incentives. A utility’s acquisition of a renewable asset presents many issues not otherwise present in a non-utility acquisition, particularly if the utility intends to include its investment in rate base.

In this complimentary webinar, we will discuss the legal and tax issues associated with renewable energy transactions based on our experience representing both utilities and developers. Topics will include:

  • Structuring issues
  • Regulatory considerations
  • Unique issues associated with tax equity financing and related tax issues

This webinar is complimentary, but space is limited; reserve your spot today. We want to ensure we address the issues of most importance to our participants, and we encourage you to submit your questions for the panel in advance during registration.
