This CLE/CPE webinar will provide renewable energy counsel guidance on the legal and tax challenges for foreign investors in U.S. renewable energy projects. The panel will discuss deal structures and key provisions, applicable U.S. tax law and IRS regulations impacting foreign investors, legal requirements, and processes to maximize benefits and limit liability. The panel will also provide insights on other key legal considerations and planning strategies for foreign investors associated with U.S. renewable energy development and financing.

Description

The U.S. has been increasing in popularity as a destination for foreign capital investments in U.S. renewable energy projects. Critical for attorneys representing U.S. renewable energy projects or non-U.S. persons investing in U.S. renewable energy projects and related entities, is a complete understanding of optimal structures for the ownership vehicle and the mechanics of the transaction itself.

Energy counsel must have a complete understanding of various opportunities and pitfalls in structuring the investment transaction, such as 1.) utilizing special purpose vehicles (SPV) for renewable energy projects; 2.) key issues when accepting foreign investors; 3.) income and transfer tax implications; 4.) exit strategy issues relating to foreign investors; 5.) compliance and reporting requirements; and other key items.

Listen as our panel of renewable energy attorneys goes beyond the basics to provide a comprehensive and practical guide to structuring foreign investment in U.S. renewable energy project development.
