Taylor English’s renewable energy finance practice is built upon the years of experience our attorneys have in the law surrounding energy tax credits, securities and complex financing transactions.
Tax Credits and Incentives
Our attorneys have been involved in more than 100 transactions involving financing for renewable energy facilities including open-loop biomass, close-loop biomass, ethanol, wind, solar and other technologies. They have advised both project sponsors and investors in questions involving Section 48 investment tax credits, Section 45 production tax credits, accelerated depreciation and other renewable energy incentives. Many of these incentive programs were extended and expanded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Project Finance and Structuring
Drawing on our deep reservoir of experience in securities and lending transactions our renewable energy finance team is able to develop multi-tiered financing strategies that leverage project resources for the optimal mix of equity, debt and credit-leveraged financing.
