What if your renewable energy tax credits could turn into immediate cash instead of sitting on your balance sheet for years? In this episode, Erik Underwood, Co-Founder and CEO of Basis Climate, and James Coombes, VP of Business Development at Conductor Solar, break down how tax credit transfers are reshaping renewable energy finance and why more developers, businesses, and REITs are choosing to sell their credits instead of carrying them forward.

You’ll learn how the Inflation Reduction Act opened the door to simplified credit transfers, how pricing typically works (including discounts and transaction costs), and why timing can dramatically impact the value of your deal. We also explore what buyers look for in underwriting, the risks around recapture and IRS compliance, how small and mid-sized credits differ from large utility-scale transactions, and when it makes sense to sell versus retain credits.

What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode:

• What a tax credit transfer actually is.
• How the IRA changed clean energy finance.
• Why businesses sell credits instead of keeping them.
• How transaction costs impact net proceeds.
• IRS registration requirements and timing rules.

What if the grid reliability forecasts we trust are built on assumptions that don’t hold up in the real world? In this highlight episode, we explore one of the most overlooked vulnerabilities in modern energy systems: the gap between installed natural gas capacity and actual fuel availability.

Listen in to hear about the deeper market forces at play, including why stressed grids create windfall profits for generators, how clearing prices reward volatility, and the ways renewable subsidies lead to negative bidding that distorts the entire system. You'll learn how market design, oversight gaps, and fuel constraints collide.

What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode:

• Why natural gas plants may not have fuel during peak demand.
• How ISO New England used onsite diesel to prevent outages.
• How clearing prices incentivize volatility in stressed grids.
• Why renewable subsidies create negative bidding
• Why strong oversight is essential for grid reliability.

What does it actually look like when a multifamily owner “becomes a utility”? In this episode, you’ll learn how developers and asset managers are using on-site solar and virtual net metering to create real value, not just sustainability headlines. We break down how a relatively modest investment can generate outsized returns, why lenders and investors are becoming more comfortable with these projects, and how rising utility rates are changing the economics.

The conversation covers tenant perception, leasing team education, EV charging integration, and the operational realities of deploying solar at scale. If you’re a developer, owner, or investor trying to understand whether solar belongs in your portfolio — and how to do it right — this episode walks through the practical lessons learned from doing it repeatedly.

What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode:

• What it means for owners to “become a utility.”
• How VNM works at the resident level.
• Why utility rate spreads drive solar returns.
• How residents receive monthly energy savings.
• What lenders and investors care about most.
• How leasing teams use solar as a selling point.
