Description
Monetizing clean energy tax credits is already tough enough. Critical to clean energy deployment, tax equity financing is both inefficient and undersupplied. And it could get a lot worse.A rule proposed by banking authorities could have big impacts on the few remaining tax equity financiers by upending how they weight project risk. Simply put, the rule would quadruple capital requirements for banks holding tax equity investments.Episode 62 of the Factor This! podcast features Hilary Lefko, a partner at the law firm Norton Rose Fulbright.Lefko shares why the “Basel III” ruling could lead to "dire consequences" for the tax equity market and clean energy goals.Watch the full episode on YouTubeWe're just a few weeks out from the GridTECH Connect Forum being held in Newport Rhode, Island Oct. 23-25.
