February 2026 – 14th Annual Energy Briefing

Navigating the 2026 ITC Pivot: Solar, Geothermal, & CHP in the BBB

Don’t let the One Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) disrupt your clean energy pipeline. This critical seminar focuses on the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) pivot taking effect in 2026, which significantly alters incentives for solar, geothermal, and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) projects.

Solar, Geo, and CHP superstars will detail the accelerated phaseout and new, harsher deadlines for solar projects—projects must begin construction by July 4, 2026 to secure full benefits, and face an in-service deadline of December 31, 2027 to qualify at all. Crucially, we’ll examine how geothermal and CHP are impacted differently.

Learn to navigate complex provisions, including new domestic content requirements and the major restrictions on Foreign-Influenced Entities (FIEs), effective in 2026. Get expert strategies for safe harboring and financing to maintain project viability.
