“How do you stay connected when you’re all remote?” We get this question a lot. One of the best parts of building a fully remote firm is proving that distance doesn’t diminish culture - it challenges us to be more intentional about it.
Clean Energy Counsel teams up with Euclid Power and Carson Power, where we’ll break down what IRS Notice 2025-42 means for developers, investors, and financing parties — and how to move forward under the new framework.
Clean Energy Counsel, Euclid Power, and Power Brief unpack the new Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) requirements set forth in the domestic policy bill and what they mean for developers, investors, and equipment suppliers across the renewable energy sector.
They break down the different requirements, timing and compliance strategies, and what market participants should be doing now to get ready for these new FEOC-related restrictions.
A cross-industry roundtable hosted by Clean Energy Counsel, in collaboration with Euclid Power and Carson Power:
With the proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” poised to reshape clean energy incentives, understanding the rapidly evolving landscape of begun construction requirements is essential for developers, equipment suppliers, and investors alike.
