Empact Technologies has launched a new platform to help developers and investors of clean energy projects maximize the impact of the IRA’s tax incentive program, which will provide an estimated $1.2 trillion of incentives by 2032. Solar and Storage developer Stella Energy has selected Empact’s platform for IRA tax compliance management.
Empact combines powerful software with incentive compliance expertise into the industry’s first and most comprehensive IRA management platform. This technology will help developers secure project construction financing and ensure regulatory compliance. Because it includes a robust data repository, investors will also be able to ensure protection from IRS recapture risk.
BOULDER, CO and HOUSTON – August 1, 2023. Empact Technologies (Empact), a clean energy tax incentive management software and services company, today announced the launch of its new platform designed to maximize the impact of clean energy project incentives under America’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Empact combines powerful software with incentive compliance expertise into the industry’s first and most comprehensive IRA management platform.
Empact also announced a multi-year agreement with Stella Energy Solutions, a leading utility-scale solar and storage developer in Houston, Texas. Stella will use the Empact Technologies platform for IRA tax incentive management on all current and future solar and energy storage projects for a period of five years.
“We’re on the brink of a global transformation to a clean energy future. Empact’s platform will enable a more sustainable and equitable energy transition by optimizing the financial, social, and environmental impact of clean energy projects,” said Charles Dauber, founder and CEO of Empact Technologies.
According to analysts from Goldman Sachs, the IRA is the most supportive regulatory environment in clean tech history, providing an estimated $1.2 trillion of incentives by 2032.
Empact enables developers to leverage the IRA clean energy program to secure project construction financing, while ensuring regulatory compliance. Empact also provides the industry’s most robust data repository to protect investors from IRS recapture risk.
“Ensuring adherence to the new IRA tax incentive requirements is a critical element of our project financing,” said Staats Battle, Senior Vice President of Operations, Stella Energy. “We chose Empact Technologies to manage the entire process on our behalf, from working with our EPCs and project suppliers, to providing 3rd party proof of our compliance to our financing partners.”
Empact’s platform combines proprietary SaaS technology with professional services, enabling projects to meet IRS regulatory requirements for prevailing wage and apprenticeship, domestic content, and energy and low-income community incentives.
