Why tax could make or break an energy transition project

The journey towards a greener future is paved with innovative technologies and ambitious projects, from vast solar farms to enormous wind turbines. The energy transition is reshaping our landscapes and our economies. However, when thinking about these large projects, it is crucial to consider the tax implications that in some cases could make or break the feasibility of these projects.

This podcast features moderator Mitchell Ikoghode, Energy and Infrastructure Partner, and a distinguished panel of tax experts, including Charles Yorke and Isabelle Panis, Tax Partners from the U.K. and Belgium respectively, and Benjamin Mbana, Tax Director from South Africa, to discuss these critical tax considerations.

The team discuss the following topics:

• New tax incentives that are driving investment in energy transition projects and how to ensure you are maximising the benefit of these
• Tax implications of different funding structures and understanding potential reputational implications
• Why it is worth looking beyond taxes on construction and operation of energy transition projects to tax issues on exit for both debt and equity investors
• How to navigate the complex, and sometimes, quirky tax issues that arise in offshore energy projects
• Why structures used previously may no longer be the most effective in light of developments in relation to tax
