Strong Demand for Clean Energy Tax Credits Continues Into 2025, New Report Finds
Reunion Survey Shows 85% of Corporate Tax Credit Buyers Plan to Maintain or Increase Purchases
SAN FRANCISCO, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A new report released today by Reunion, the leading tax credit transfer platform, shows that demand for transferable clean energy tax credits remains as strong as ever even in a fluctuating policy landscape.
Transferable Tax Credits in 2025: The Buyer Perspective, a comprehensive report based on Reunion’s proprietary transaction data and an in-depth survey of senior tax executives at large corporations, shows that corporate buyer demand for high-quality clean energy tax credits remains robust, with 85% of buyers planning to purchase the same or greater volume of credits in 2025 as in the year before.
“We are seeing more active buyers in Q1 2025 than at the same time last year,” said Andy Moon, CEO at Reunion. “The strength of buyer demand underscores the growing role of clean energy tax credits in corporate tax strategy and financial planning.”
Key findings:
- Majority of buyers are maximizing credit purchases: A majority of surveyed buyers aim to offset the maximum amount of their tax liability allowed by law, with more than 80% targeting at least half their liability.
- Demand is helping keep prices up: At the end of 2024, market pricing for high-quality tax credits approached buyers’ maximum willingness to pay. Credits from investment-grade sellers are also commanding a clear premium in the market.
- Fast-moving market: Competition for high-quality deals is fierce, with in-demand transactions often clearing in 1-2 weeks.
The report comes at a critical moment for the clean energy sector, which now employs over 3.5 million American workers and has added 400,000 jobs since 2020. As electricity demand rises—driven by factors such as AI and data center expansion—financing mechanisms like tax credit transferability created by the Inflation Reduction Act play an increasingly essential role in scaling clean energy solutions to meet the growing demand.
“Reunion is committed to helping America meet its growing energy needs by making clean energy tax credit transactions faster, simpler, and more reliable,” added Moon. “We look forward to continuing to help buyers and sellers navigate a competitive market and ensure that clean energy projects can access the financing they need.”
