Get Ready for Renewables! A Primer on the Inflation Reduction Act for Manufacturing Companies
2023-04-12 12:00 - 13:00 | Georgia
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.

“Chain Wrecks” is a fast-paced and highly valuable webinar for any company buying or selling things in the global supply chain.

It provides cautionary tales of what happens when sales do not go as planned. Although buyers and sellers of goods and services seek to profit from each transaction, every sale also brings risks.Who is exposed to losses when things go wrong, such as when a party fails to perform as promised or when a product is defective, must be recalled, or infringes intellection property rights?If the parties do not have a clear, written agreement covering such risks, what terms control?How may parties limit their commercial and litigation risks, while maximizing opportunities for recovery from the defaulting buyer or seller?

Using lively and entertaining stories of real-world “chain wrecks” (including tales from the pandemic), the presenters bring to life Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and other applicable laws in a way that will engage and inform.Viewers will leave with a new or refreshed understanding of the legal framework governing contract formation, default terms, express and implied warranties, consequences of breach, indemnification, and damages limitations.
