Beginning of Construction

Empact supports clean energy projects needing to document key dates and milestones, as well as ongoing compliance with safe harbor requirements

New requirements in the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB)

The OBBB, enacted on July 4, 2025, places additional requirements on clean electricity projects, heightening the importance of documenting the Beginning of Construction (BOC)

Solar and wind projects must begin construction by7/4/2026 in order to avoid having to be online by 12/31/2027
All clean electricity projects must begin construction by 12/31/2025 in order to avoid challenging Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) requirements
