What is a clean energy tax credit purchase?

What is a clean energy tax credit purchase?

A clean energy tax credit purchase is a cash sale of a transferable federal tax credit under Section 6418 of the Internal Revenue Code. The project owner sells the credit, the buyer pays cash, typically 88¢ to 95¢ per dollar, and the buyer claims the credit on its own return. Cenet Capital is that buyer, purchasing directly with its own balance sheet.
