This session is part of ELI's Unplugged: The Renewable Energy Speaker Series.
An ELI Public Seminar
Join the Environmental Law Institute and Farella Braun + Martel for the relaunch of “Unplugged: The Renewable Energy Speaker Series.” This kick-off program will be held live at Farella Braun + Martel’s San Francisco office and will also be livestreamed via Zoom webinar.
The Inflation Reduction Act included key incentive programs, such as the Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit Program and the Energy Community Tax Credit Bonus, that sought to spur clean energy development in frontline communities. Our expert panelists will discuss the status of those programs one and a half years later, and the current opportunities and challenges for clean energy developers and environmental justice communities. What are the recent trends in developing clean energy projects within these communities? What difficulties have arisen with new projects, and how can they be overcome? Speakers will address these questions and more.
