“The Inflation Reduction Act, what a boom…it could truly unlock solar in a new way.” - Matt LeDucq
The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act is no doubt a huge win for the clean energy sector. The bill authorizes $369 billion in funding for climate change-related and clean energy initiatives. Most importantly for buyers, the bill introduces new economic dynamics that significantly reduce the current barriers to extracting economic value from a solar project.
In this video Station A CEO, Kevin Berekemeyer talks with good friend and advisor Matt LeDucq, CEO at Forum Mobility, to outline the big takeaways of the IRA for clean energy projects. Matt brings extensive experience in distributed generation (DG) and solar from his time developing over $2 billion in business while at NextEra.
