The Federal government has released guidance on several key stimulus provisions, including the opportunity to obtain Treasury grants in lieu of renewable energy tax credits, and the ability to apply for a major new incentive for manufacturers of energy property.  The manufacturing incentive includes extremely near-term timeline requirements that require immediate attention to assess opportunities for you.  The grants in lieu of credits also require both a tax and an assurance component that requires careful planning.  Further, there is yet another incentive for energy efficiency improvements that should be considered this year.

These incentives could be applicable to any company; they are not limited to traditional energy businesses nor to those in loss positions.  In the months since the stimulus provisions were announced more details have emerged, not only in terms of additional guidance from Treasury but also in practical terms as companies have begun to take advantage of the opportunities around renewable credits.

On this webcast, our speakers will...

• explain the available incentives and how they relate to your business
• talk about the new grant-in-lieu guidance and the IRS notice on the advance energy manufacturing property credit
• discuss practical application for companies trying to claim the special depreciation deduction for energy efficient commercial property
