Navigating the New Clean Energy Tax Landscape: Safe Harbor Rules, FEOC Compliance & Strategic Investment Decisions

Since President Trump signed the budget bill into law on July 4, 2025, the clean energy tax credit landscape has undergone significant changes. Following our initial webinar on the bill's clean energy provisions, new Treasury guidance and regulatory developments have created both challenges and opportunities for large energy users and developers. This follow-up session will address the most pressing questions facing energy buyers as they navigate the evolving federal investment tax credit framework, newly implemented safe harbor construction rules, and Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) sourcing requirements.

This session is designed for decision-makers who need practical, actionable guidance on navigating the current clean energy tax environment. Our expert panel will provide real-world insights based on actual project experience since the July 4th legislative changes.

What's Changed Since July 4th

• New Safe Harbor Rules: End of the widely-used 5% cost safe harbor for most solar and wind projects over 1.5MW, requiring developers to rely primarily on physical work tests
• Enhanced FEOC Restrictions: Implementation of Foreign Entity of Concern rules affecting component sourcing and project financing, with specific thresholds for Chinese equipment and materials
• Accelerated Timelines: Strict enforcement of construction start requirements
