Energy Credits & Incentives

We help businesses identify, document, claim, and monetize tax credits and incentive opportunities related to renewable and alternative energy investments.

Fueling business growth through energy tax credits

Investing in renewable and alternative energy can unlock significant financial advantages for businesses and energy developers.

Governments at international, federal, state, and local levels offer various credits and incentives to subsidize and encourage eligible capital investment. From the expansion of longstanding Production Tax Credits and Investment Tax Credits to new clean energy incentives introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act and One Big Beautiful Bill Act, tax benefits for energy investments are on the rise.

Bringing together our tax, assurance, and valuation professionals, we work with businesses to explore opportunities to fund renewable energy investments and offset the costs of transitioning to more sustainable business practices.  

Stay on top of the evolving energy tax incentives landscape and supercharge your initiatives with BDO.
