SUMMARY:Dept of Energy Webinar: Seeks Input on Potential Capacity Accelerator for Tribal Offshore Wind Engagement
DESCRIPTION:December 11 at 1:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nMany Tribal Nations have called for additional resources to support Tribal capacity to engage in offshore wind energy decision-making processes. In response\, DOE seeks to recognize the vital work that Tribal Nations and collaboratives do to support Tribal participation in offshore wind energy decision-making processes that affect their communities\, cultural resources\, economic opportunities\, and the homelands and ocean spaces that they steward. \nTo do this\, DOE is proposing to launch a capacity accelerator to provide direct funding and technical assistance to Tribes. This accelerator could support engagement in site assessment and leasing\, involvement in environmental monitoring\, and advancement of wind energy equity. Taking place over multiple years\, this effort would include several application and funding opportunities. \nFirst\, DOE wants Tribal input on the design of the accelerator. Register to join our webinar to learn more and share your ideas. Be sure to sign up even if you can’t attend\, because we will share a recording of the session. And follow the accelerator for details and updates\, including answers to questions that arise during the webinar.

SUMMARY:Treasury Department Webinar: Access to Clean Energy Incentives Through Elective Pay with Joint Ownership Arrangements
DESCRIPTION:December 13 at 2:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nJoin Treasury for a webinar to discuss final regulations on joint ownership arrangements pay and elective pay under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). \nPrior to the Inflation Reduction Act\, entities eligible for elective pay – like Tribes – could not benefit from clean energy tax credits because they had little or no federal tax liability. The recently released final rules contain amendments to the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR part 1) under section 761(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) that will allow for co-ownership arrangements of properties eligible for elective pay. This will allow Tribes to seek elective payment for certain IRA tax credits for properties that are jointly owned with other entities.
