Unlocking Solar for Washington: Direct Pay Tax Credits & CETCAP, Case Studies, and Financing Pathways

Friday, November 21, 12pm on Zoom

This webinar will provide a practical overview of key opportunities for solar developers to advance clean energy projects in Washington. S2 Strategies will kick things off with an update on the WA Commerce CETCAP Program, which helps non-tax paying entities take advantage of clean energy tax credits that can recoup up to 70% of project costs.

This overview will include how upcoming foreign entity rules may affect projects. Undaunted K-12 will then share a case study—highlighting lessons learned from a school that utilized these tac credits to build their project—followed by an update from Washington’s Green Bank on emerging alternative financing mechanisms available to districts.
