I am applying everything I have learned executing scores of tax equity and financing transactions over the past 20 years to build Reunion, a marketplace for clean energy tax credits. Transferable tax credits are the backbone of the IRA, and will be a critical mechanism to implement our country's energy transition policy goals.
