As local governments across the U.S. set ambitious climate goals and forge plans to cut emissions, the Inflation Reduction Act’s Elective Pay process is proving to be a game-changer. This mechanism, established in 2022, makes certain clean energy tax credits refundable for tax-exempt organizations.

Watch an insightful discussion featuring three local governments that have successfully utilized elective pay to fund their projects. Hear firsthand from San Antonio, TX; Denver, CO; and Sun Prairie, WI, about their experiences, challenges, and the invaluable lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Featured Speakers:

• Dr. Rose Daily, Sustainability Coordinator, City of Sun Prairie, WI
• Doug Melnick, Chief Sustainability Officer, City of San Antonio, TX
• Drew Halpern, Senior Energy Project Manager, City of Denver, CO
• Brian McCartan, Climate Finance Advisor, ICLEI USA

This session was designed for municipal sustainability staff who are curious about or planning to pursue elective pay.
