Energy Tax Credit Advisory Services

A government authority in Georgia is seeking professional tax advisers to provide energy tax credit advisory services. The agency needs to ensure that energy tax credits pledged as federal cost share are properly substantiated, legally eligible, timely realized, and defensible in the event of a review or audit. The selected advisor will assist the agency and its electric cooperative in successfully securing and maximizing Section 48E direct pay tax credits for a qualifying energy storage project. The scope of work requires legal due diligence and guidance to navigate the base thirty percent tax credit requirements, which include meeting prevailing wage and apprenticeship standards. The project also covers securing potential ten percentage point bonuses for meeting domestic content rules for iron, steel, and manufactured products, or for being located in an energy community. Additionally, the advisor must assist with the implementation of projects involving federal funds, including Appalachian Regional Commission funds. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations located entirely within the United States. The agency requires all performance of the work to be completed offsite. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is openly looking for proposals, all clarifying questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted no later than June 4, 2026.
