Renewable energy companies are poised to benefit from a burgeoning market that allows them to sell clean energy tax credits, according to JPMorgan.
The Inflation Reduction Act offers generous tax credits for renewable energy projects but many companies are struggling to fully take advantage of them.
"We believe this transfer market, once ramped, will offer a potentially cheaper and more efficient way to monetize tax credits," Strouse wrote.
The IRA offers renewable companies a range of tax credits for the electricity they produce, their investments in new projects, and the components they manufacture.
The problem is that the tax credits are often substantially higher than project developers actual tax bills, according to JPMorgan.
