As we enter the second year after the Inflation Reduction Act’s enactment, there’s a noticeable shift in the project financing markets. According to JDSupra’s article, these markets are beginning to coalesce around creative financing structures designed to best exploit the new tax credit subsidies instigated by the US Congress. The article reveals a closer look at the major structural alterations implemented due to the act, focusing on how these alterations are influencing the capitalization of US renewable energy and energy transition projects, as well as the project financing strategies for these frameworks.
