The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) is the most significant legislation related to climate change in U.S. history. It has significant tax implications for the clean energy industry–providing unprecedented levels of support to everything from renewable energy, storage, nuclear and carbon capture projects to renewables and storage equipment manufacturing to electric vehicles and electric vehicle chargers.

Our team helps clients understand the complexities of the IRA, including anticipating emerging issues and taking advantage of opportunities throughout the industry.

The IRA invests in domestic energy production and manufacturing while seeking to reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030. Highlights include:

  • PTC and ITC Extensions
