Insights
This innovative tax equity transaction marks a significant milestone for Altus Power, showcasing their ability to adapt to changing market conditions and regulatory frameworks. The hybrid structure, combining traditional tax equity partnerships with direct ITC transfers, demonstrates Altus Power's financial acumen and market leadership.
Key benefits of this structure include:
- Enhanced flexibility in allocating ITCs
- Expanded pool of potential tax partners

- Potential for increased value creation
While the immediate financial impact is not quantified, this transaction positions Altus Power to potentially lower its cost of capital and improve project returns. For investors, this could translate to stronger financial performance and increased shareholder value in the long term. However, the complexity of the structure and its reliance on tax regulations introduce some risk factors that warrant careful monitoring.
Altus Power's innovative tax equity structure represents a significant development in the renewable energy financing landscape, leveraging the flexibility introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This transaction demonstrates the real-world impact of the IRA's provisions, particularly the transferability of Investment Tax Credits (ITCs).
Key implications include:
- Validation of the IRA's effectiveness in stimulating renewable energy investment
- Potential for accelerated clean energy project development
- Creation of new market opportunities for companies with tax appetite
This structure could serve as a model for other renewable energy companies, potentially leading to increased efficiency in the tax equity market. However, it's important to note that the long-term sustainability of such structures depends on the stability of tax policies and potential future legislative changes.
The deal is notable given its innovative structure, which allocates a portion of the investment tax credits (“ITCs”) from recently completed solar projects to an existing partner through a traditional tax equity partnership, consistent with those which Altus has formed in the past. However, in a first-of-its-kind move for Altus Power, the new structure leverages the flexibility created in the Inflation Reduction Act to directly transfer a majority of the ITCs from the tax equity partnership to other partners of Altus Power with significant tax capacity. This hybrid approach enhances Altus’ flexibility and expands the market for Altus Power to place ITCs with new tax partners.
"We are proud to pioneer this innovative tax credit transaction that not only allows us to respond to the dynamic tax equity market conditions but also to continue to offer a highly competitive structure for our partners," said Abhi Parmar, Head of Investment and Structured Finance, Altus Power. "By incorporating the ability to transfer tax credits, we are unlocking new opportunities for value creation and expanding relationships with additional Altus Power partners who have interest in acquiring investment tax credits via direct transfer.”
The transaction underscores Altus Power’s commitment to remain at the forefront of market innovation while continuously optimizing its financial structures to benefit both partners and stakeholders.
