SUMMARY:Get Ready for Renewables! A Primer on the Inflation Reduction Act for Manufacturing Companies
DESCRIPTION:Ready or not\, the renewable energy revolution is here! The average cost of installing solar dropped 350% in a decade. Every sector of the economy – from manufacturing to transportation to data — is electrifying\, driving new peaks in electricity demand\, straining a stretched electrical grid and creating new opportunities for smaller systems that serve an individual customer’s unique energy needs. Extreme weather events bring resiliency and continuity of energy service to the top of our minds. Customers increasingly demand a greener footprint. And then 2022’s Inflation Reduction Act overhauled the clean energy tax credit\, exploding the number of technologies and organizations that can generate this powerful incentive.This web presentation will lay out a simple approach to going renewable and help you understand some of the many financing options available\, including and especially the IRA’s clean energy tax credit provisions\, so you’re prepared to take full advantage of this powerful incentive. We’ll also leave plenty of time for Q&A.Next Generation Manufacturing event registrations open to manufacturing executives\, directors and senior managers of manufacturing companies. \n\n\n\nFeatured Presenter: Rebecca Chilton\, Partner\, Nelson Mullins \n\n\n\nGet Ready for Renewables!
