Direct pay (also known as “elective pay”) provides tax-exempt entities the opportunity to make use of federal clean energy tax credits historically only available to individuals and the private sector. Due to the uniqueness of this opportunity, The Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) and Governor’s Office of Policy, Innovation, and the Future (GOPIF) are offering a limited-period technical assistance program to help raise awareness and educate eligible tax-exempt entities about their ability to use the new direct pay mechanism to access federal clean energy tax credits. This webinar will focus on providing direct pay-related information to municipalities and tribal governments.
