SUMMARY:Local First Webinar: How to Stack IRA\, ITC and Utility Incentives to Help Your Small Business
DESCRIPTION:This informative webinar will highlight the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, the Investment Tax Credit (ITC)\, and utility incentives aimed at fostering energy efficiency and clean energy. These incentives\, including the updated 179D deduction and the 45L Energy Efficient Home Credit\, offer significant tax credits for energy-saving renovations and new construction projects. The ITC provides a 30% tax credit for solar installations\, with additional perks for meeting specific criteria. For small businesses\, these incentives present a valuable opportunity to reduce operational costs\, enhance sustainability\, and invest in energy-efficient solutions that improve long-term profitability. By combining these IRA and ITC tax credits with utility energy efficiency incentives\, small businesses can make energy efficiency projects very cost effective\, allowing them to achieve substantial operational cost savings\, long-term profitability and competitiveness in the market. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights\, clarifications\, and next steps from the experts at Catalyst Partners. \nAbout Catalyst Partners: \nFor the last 20 years\, Catalyst Partners has been assembling a team of trusted industry leaders who share a common passion: to create positive environmental impact\, one project at a time. Founded on the principles of integrative project delivery\, we act as the “catalyst” to help our clients establish their objectives and achieve them via our various Sustainability Consulting\, Healthy Building Consulting\, Building Performance\, and Green Building Certification services. \nWe have delivered over 500 projects and have provided building performance and consulting services for over 39 million square feet of projects locally\, nationally\, and internationally.
