“Is your project really compliant?” That’s the billion-dollar question developers across the U.S. are asking as Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) rules tighten their grip on clean energy tax credits. If you are(were) banking on the ITC, PTC, or 45X, you can’t afford to miss this Tactical Tuesday deep-dive. The rules are shifting. Supply chains are murky. And guidance is still evolving. Host Nico Johnson pulls together an expert panel to decode how FEOC is reshaping the way projects are sourced, engineered, financed, and papered across the U.S. solar and storage market. You’ll hear from: Christian Roselund (Clean Energy Associates) — decoding ownership, material assistance, and effective control Raj Pawar (EVS) — revealing how inverter-level definitions trigger real engineering redesigns Aaron Gomolak (Ampt) — showing how string-level optimization keeps projects on schedule and compliant Mona Dajani (Baker Botts) — outlining how to structure deals and mitigate legal risk while guidance evolves Expect to learn: 🔹 Why Treasury’s guidance on "qualified facility" could force developers to rethink procurement 🔹 How to vet supplier self-certifications and avoid “phantom compliance” 🔹 How top counsel advise clients when regulations are still in flux 🔹 The engineering tradeoffs and cost-neutral approaches developers are taking to stay bankable The FEOC clock is ticking — this episode gives you the clarity (and tactics) to stay compliant, on schedule, and in control.
