Sustainability now: Energy credits after the beautiful bill

The Inflation Reduction Act introduced a broad range of renewable energy tax credits. Now, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OB3) has reshaped these incentives with new compliance requirements, shifting timelines, and selective phaseouts. In this podcast, we cover what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and the implications for companies navigating the evolving renewable energy tax credit landscape.
