Heidi Hauch's questions to HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc (HASI) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
Heidi Hauch, on for Moses Sutton, asked if a potential reduction in tax credits would create a larger investment opportunity for HASI by widening the capital stack gap that needs to be filled.
Answer
Chief Revenue & Strategy Officer Marc Pangburn confirmed that, incrementally, a reduction in tax equity would likely create a larger monetization opportunity for HASI. He explained that if tax equity decreases, sponsors would likely pass through higher PPA rates, increasing the level of cash equity in a project's capital stack, which is where HASI typically invests.
