Maximizing Value of Tax Breaks

We are experts in structuring the financing of alternative energy projects — solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal or co-generation. Our attorneys can help maximize the value of the various financial incentives associated with an energy-related project, such as federal tax credits, rebates, and renewable energy certificates (SREC) to name a few.

Our Experience

Our energy-related experience includes:

  • Drafting Public Law 2009, Chapter 4, entitled, “Energy Savings Improvement Program,” effective January 21, 2009, authorizing local governmental units to undertake energy conservation measures by having energy savings pay for the design, installation and financing of improvements.
  • Assisting numerous New Jersey school districts with the financing of solar energy systems.
  • Structuring debt service aid from the State with the sale of solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) to offset cost of solar installations and create positive cash flow for school districts.
  • Representation of both public and private clients in the structuring and negotiating of Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).
  • Structuring and negotiating the financing and development of co-generation facilities.
