Renewable power financing structures are heavily driven by government policies, particularly tax incentives, as evidenced by the blossoming, withering and nascent revival of tax equity financing in recent years. With the scheduled expirations of popular federal programs, such as the grant-in-lieu-of-tax-credits and Section 1705 loan guarantees, and the failure of the Congress-appointed Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to reach agreement, further adaptations may be on the horizon.

On December 6, 2011, attorneys from White & Case LLP, a firm that has guided clients through the project finance market since the 1980s, participated in a Thomson Reuters/West LegalEdcenter webcast, where they discussed the changing landscape of US government incentives and what it means for future financings.

Program participants included:

Donna Attanasio – Partner, Washington, DC
Linda Carlisle – Partner, Washington, DC
Lawrence Gannon – Partner, New York
Elena Maria Millerman – Partner, New York
Gregory Spak – Partner, Washington, DC
Jason Webber – Partner, New York
