Introducing SPARC: A Simpler Path to Transferable Tax Credit Investing

Published Date

SE Advisory Services has launched a new program to introduce transferable tax credit investing to corporate buyers. The Schneider Purchase Agreement for Renewable Credits (SPARC) offers corporate buyers the opportunity to invest alongside Schneider Electric. Investment opportunities range from $5MM to $50MM. Buyers can realize significant tax savings generated through a transaction already underwritten by experts at SE Advisory Services and utilized as part of Schneider Electric’s own tax credit investment strategy.

Tax Credit Transfers (TCTs) are a unique opportunity introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act (2022) and secured by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (2025) for corporations to achieve tax savings by purchasing federal clean energy tax credits from eligible projects at a discount, creating significant tax savings and cash flow benefits. 

Transferable clean energy tax credits have quickly become a significant market, with annual transaction volume estimated in the tens of billions of dollars. While the market continues to mature, first-time buyers often remain hesitant due to the time commitment, due diligence review, contract negotiations, and administrative costs associated with a transaction.

SPARC is designed to reduce these barriers to entry. Through a fully diligenced, pre-negotiated, and insured project, corporate tax teams can ‘dip their toe’ into the clean energy tax credit space and review an opportunity without the administrative burden or resource commitment that would otherwise be required. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Transferable Tax Credits

  • What are transferable tax credits?
    Transferable tax credits allow eligible clean energy project developers to sell federal clean energy tax credits to corporate buyers, creating tax savings opportunities for both parties.
  • Why are companies interested in tax credit transfers?
    Organizations can reduce tax liability, improve cash flow, and support clean energy deployment without directly developing renewable energy projects.
  • How does SPARC simplify participation?
    SPARC provides access to a fully diligenced, pre-negotiated, and insured transaction, enabling organizations to evaluate the market without the significant administrative burden often associated with tax credit transfers.

Schneider Electric will participate in the transaction alongside additional corporate investors. Nationally recognized legal counsel with extensive experience in tax credit transfers has provided guidance on structuring and closing the transaction and will be available to support additional purchasers.  

SPARC provides organizations with more than a tax savings opportunity. It offers a practical entry point into the transferable tax credit market through a transaction developed and supported by Schneider Electric. With decades of experience advising on power purchase agreements, environmental attribute certificate purchases, and energy efficiency upgrades, SE Advisory Services can help organizations evaluate how TCT investments may complement broader decarbonization and energy procurement pathways.
