Buried in the IRS’s interim FEOC guidance: interconnection equipment may need separate testing to qualify for the ITC. Big potential implications for solar projects. Looking forward to moderating a SEIA panel next Tuesday on what comes next. Join us: seia.org/events/foreign-enti…

Farm bankruptcies are rising. Energy costs are surging. So why does USDA further restrict REAP- a proven, bipartisan program that has helped farmers cut costs for 2 decades? This isn’t the time for political games. It’s time to support rural America. dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag…

Another ICE shooting. People living in fear. Power being taken instead of care being given. None of this is okay, and everyone should be speaking out.
