The Inflation Reduction Act is now the law of the land, and it has fundamentally changed the landscape for clean energy in the United States. No longer simply providing a date change, Congress has extended energy tax credits like the Investment Tax Credit and Production Tax Credit but also carved out new technologies’ eligibility, supercharged incentive amounts, and fundamentally re-written how such incentives can be used by taxpayers. So where do industries go from here to put the IRA’s ambitious policy vision into focus? Today, we are joined by Adam Schurle and Tori Roessler from Foley’s Tax and Energy practices to break it all down and unpack what’s next for the ITC and PTC.

No longer the stuff of Hollywood hypotheticals, cybersecurity threats are a daily reality and challenge for energy companies building solar, wind, battery and transmission projects communicating in an increasingly dynamic, interactive energy grid.
