Foss & Company Closes a Landmark Tax Credit Transfer for Clean Energy in Hawaii
Foss & Company, a prominent player in the tax equity syndication industry, proudly announces the completion of a significant tax credit transfer worth $54.4 million. This transfer is dedicated to the groundbreaking Hale Kuawehi Solar and Storage Project, a state-of-the-art facility situated on the picturesque Hawaiʻi Island and developed by Innergex Renewable Energy Inc.
The Hale Kuawehi project boasts an impressive 30-megawatt AC photovoltaic solar array, paired with a robust 30.7 MW / 122.8 MWh battery energy storage system. This innovative combination showcases the project's potential to not only harness solar energy but also store it effectively, ensuring a steady and reliable power supply.
Speaking about the completion of this transaction, Bryen Alperin, the Managing Director at Foss & Company, remarked,
“The Hale Kuawehi project exemplifies our capacity to deliver seamless execution, even amidst shifting circumstances.” This successful transaction reinforces Foss & Company's commitment to enhancing energy resilience in island communities through flexible financing options.
As the sponsor of the Hale Kuawehi project, Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. is responsible for its development, commissioning, and the ongoing operations of the facility. Michel Letellier, the President and CEO of Innergex, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration, stating,
“By integrating solar energy with cutting-edge storage technology, we are enabling Hawaii to move towards a resilient and carbon-neutral electric future.”
The tax credit transfer is executed under the direct transfer provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, allowing clean energy developers like Innergex to utilize federal investment tax credits (ITCs) efficiently, thereby optimizing their financial structures.
Hale Kuawehi reflects a continuing trend in Foss & Company's expansion within Hawaii's evolving energy landscape, where the integration of dispatchable storage is essential due to land constraints. The company remains a reliable partner in delivering scalable clean energy solutions, even in challenging environments.
