COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) provisions aim to help
reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the range of fuel types, energy
producers and energy users. Tax credits have been extended, enhanced and
increased in size for energy efficiency, energy generation and decarbonized
fuel production projects, electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, manufacturing
facilities and certain critical minerals essential for clean energy
technologies. The IRA also creates the opportunity to transfer credits or receive
direct payments from the IRS. While supporting energy-related construction
projects, IRA has a meaningful emphasis on jobs and earnings growth, domestic
content and environmental justice.
If you’re a contractor, you’re probably wondering:
- What is the opportunity for the construction industry to push projects forward?
- What do I need to do to be compliant with those projects?
- How do I make my company a preferred contractor to energy project developers?
During this webinar, our presenters will cover:
- Prevailing wage and registered apprenticeship requirements
- Domestic content requirement
- Supply chain certification
- Compliance with the legislation
- Frequently asked questions
