SEIA President, CEO Set to Give Keynote Address at Upcoming Novogradac Renewable Energy Tax Credits Conference

Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, will be the keynote speaker at the Novogradac 2025 Fall Renewable Energy Tax Credits Conference, Nov. 6-7 at the Fairmont Washington D.C. At 9 a.m. on the second day of the conference, Hopper will share her thoughts on the state of clean energy development in the wake of legislative changes such as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) that passed July 4.

Investors, developers, consultants and advocates attending the conference will gain valuable insights into the current landscape of clean energy incentives, with a focus on timely subjects such as policy developments, market trends and practical approaches to structuring investments. The full agenda can be found here.

"Renewable energy project finance has always been complicated, but since the Inflation Reduction Act and now with the passage of OBBBA, staying up to speed on the myriad of tax structuring issues feels like a full-time job, even for non-tax professionals," says Tony Grappone, CPA, a partner in Novogradac's Andover, Massachusetts, office and chair of the conference. "While the OBBBA further complicates the monetization of tax credits generated by clean energy facilities, investors and developers still have a variety of options available. We will review what those options are at the Novogradac 2025 Fall Renewable Energy Tax Credits Conference, as well as discuss how stakeholders can best advocate for the industry."

The Novogradac 2025 Fall Renewable Energy Tax Credits Conference is co-hosted by Advantage Growth Capital, Bildmore Clean Energy, Crux Climate, Foley & Lardner, KeyState Renewables and Nixon Peabody. Conference sponsors include Alliant Insurance Services, Aon, Atlantic Global Risk, BakerHostetler, CAC Specialty, Crowell & Moring, Euclid Transactional, Foss and Company, Kutak Rock, Latham & Watkins, Lux Speed Capital, Monarch Private Capital, the National Trust Community Investment Corporation, Parker Poe, Reunion, Scale Microgrid Solutions, Summit Ridge Energy and WTW.

Novogradac will offer a preconference workshop Nov. 5. The Renewable Energy 360 Workshop will serve as an overview of renewable energy tax credits, incentives and the structures used to finance renewable energy facilities. The workshop will also discuss issues such as Internal Revenue Service safe harbors for structuring investments, minimum gain, at-risk rules and passive activities, tax-exempt use property and more.
