As you all probably know already, the US Congress passed a bill that will cut off tax credits for clean energy projects, including solar. In the view of many, this is a very bad decision that will not only harm the solar industry among others, but will increase energy prices and reduce the production of new generation of power among all energy sources, including fossil fuels. It’s a misguided policy that seems to be based more on ideology than good economic planning. At any rate, you may be wondering what the impact will be for community solar as an industry and Neighborhood Sun in particular.The short answer is it’s hard to predict the future. The longer answer is that the industry is still feeling optimistic about future growth and there are several factors that could help offset the loss of the tax credit. For one, if electricity prices continue their steep rise that means that the long term project owners will receive more revenue from their assets than they currently do. This additional revenue may be able to offset the loss of the tax credit. The case for electricity prices rising rests on two foundations. One is that there will be more and more AI data centers built. AI data centers consume massive amounts of electricity. The second is that there will be little new generation built in the near future. Natural gas plants are hindered by the long wait for turbines. Coal plants are uneconomical, and nuclear plants take years and years to build.In the short term, we expect to see a flood of new projects as developers try to beat the deadline for losing the tax credit. This will be good for our growth. In the longer term, the growth could slow but perhaps not that much if electricity prices continue their steep increase.Here at Neighborhood Sun, we are working hard every day on the projects we currently manage and constantly looking for new portfolios to take on. I am confident in our long term success!
