The Quick (But Not Dirty): A Basic Guide to Renewable Energy Market and Energy Tax Basics will be a weekly series to provide quick summaries of issues and concepts impacting the renewable energy industry. However, in the same way that renewable energy is clean, these summaries will not be dirty or messy because we will provide you with important takeaways for each issue or concept that we introduce.

The objectives for the Quick (But Not Dirty) article series are threefold:

  1. The series is geared toward those individuals who want to know what is going on in the renewable energy industry, but do not have the time for an in-depth analysis (Don't worry; For those who are craving more, we will link it to other articles that we have written that give further analysis where applicable.).
  2. We break down very complex concepts to make it easy to understand. This provides an opportunity for those individuals who are new to the renewable energy industry and who want to have the basic building blocks to provide a foundation for concepts surrounding renewable energy deals. 
  3. Do you want to show your tax professional that you have an idea about what he or she is talking about? This will help those individuals who do not have a tax background, but want to have enough knowledge to be able to have a conversation (or at least know what is going on when it is time to talk tax) about changes within the renewable energy industry and the tax structuring behind it.

The series will be issued weekly on Tuesdays on AG Speaking Energy.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
