The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) changed everything for clean energy in the US. It unlocked hundreds of billions in incentives for renewables, storage, and manufacturing, sparking a wave of investment and development. Now with the introduction of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ (OBBBA) new parameters are setting the stage for further shifts across the energy landscape.

But while this new legislation has turbocharged existing projects, it’s also added complexity. Developers and investors are navigating evolving tax guidance, new compliance requirements, and ongoing uncertainty about how quickly capital can move into clean energy. So, what’s really changed and what does it mean for the future of project finance in the US?

In this episode of Transmission, Alejandro de Diego speaks with Keith Martin, Partner at Norton Rose Fulbright, about how US policy is reshaping energy markets from the ground up. Together, they unpack how tax credits are structured and traded, what’s slowing the flow of capital into clean energy, and why long-term success will depend on clarity, consistency, and political follow-through.

Key topics covered:

• How US clean energy policy changed under the IRA and continues to develop under the OBBBA.

• How transferability is changing the way tax credits are financed.

• The role of tax equity in bringing large-scale renewable projects to life.

• What developers and investors need to know about new guidance and compliance.

• The risks and opportunities shaping the next phase of the US energy transition.
