Developers and community stakeholders in the renewable energy space are bracing for impact. With the phase out of the federal clean energy tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) coming soon, it’s important to remember this: clean energy initiatives didn’t start with the IRA, and they won’t disappear without it.
Clean energy has grown up.
It’s true that IRA incentives have allowed developers to rapidly grow the industry. But the solar and wind industries have been gaining momentum for decades. With maturing technologies, rising energy demand and growing acceptance of clean energy, it’s more important than ever to have a public affairs partner who knows how to get a project from the drawing board to generating and storing electricity.
Combat growing misconceptions with an experienced partner.
At Mower, we’ve been navigating the industry for decades—well before the IRA was part of the conversation. We’ve helped developers present their projects confidently, shifting public perception from opposition to support, and we’ll continue to provide invaluable counsel in this ever-changing landscape.
Now’s not the time to panic. It’s the time to partner with experts who understand this complex industry, know what makes decision makers tick and have the experience to keep projects moving forward—with or without federal tax credits.
