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 vendor will assist the authority and an associated electric cooperative with projects involving federal funds, including Appalachian Regional Commission funds. The scope of work requires providing legal due diligence and guidance to assist the electric cooperative in successfully securing and maximizing Section 48E direct pay tax credits for a qualifying energy storage project. This advisory work includes guiding the cooperative through a base thirty percent tax credit for meeting prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. The scope also covers securing potential ten percentage point bonuses for meeting domestic content rules for iron, steel, and manufactured products, or for locating the project in an energy community. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based entirely in the United States. The agency requires the selected vendor to perform all work offsite. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is openly looking for proposals, bidders must submit all clarifying questions no later than June 4, 2026.
