Unlocking Clean Energy Investments for Washington Communities
4/28/2025
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM PST

Event Description

This event is FREE to the public and HAS BEEN POSTPONED from 3/26 to 4/28.

This class will be presented online.   Join the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) for an essential webinar designed for Washington’s local government finance officers and community leaders. This session will provide an introduction to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its transformative impact on clean energy investments in Washington communities.

The Direct Pay provisions of the IRA open the door for a broader range of entities—including local governments and organizations that traditionally do not file tax returns—to access clean energy tax credits. This opportunity can significantly reduce costs and accelerate the transition to sustainable energy solutions.

Leveraging the expertise of GFOA and L4GG, and brought to you through the Washington Clean Energy Tax Credit Assistance Program (WA CETCAP), this webinar will walk participants through the Direct Pay process, including a general overview of the filing process and a review of available resources and programs to ensure participants are empowered to maximize available tax credits.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand how the IRA’s Direct Pay provisions expand access to clean energy tax credits.
  • Learn the step-by-step process for pre-filing and tax year filing.
  • Leverage the technical assistance available through the Washington Clean Energy Tax Credit Assistance Program.
  • Receive guidance on the state of federal tax credits in light of the new federal administration.

Don’t miss this chance to empower your community with financial tools for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
