When DOE’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains needed to maximize participation in the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (§ 48C) program, they faced a critical challenge: thousands of eligible stakeholders didn’t know these substantial tax incentives existed. Stratacomm led the development of a comprehensive stakeholder engagement strategy, under subcontract to KBC Energy Solutions.
Key Results:
- Performed detailed analysis of communities eligible for 48C tax credits
- Built dedicated database of 3,350 eligible organizations
- Conducted strategic outreach to national trade associations and industry groups
- Held regional events for manufacturers, developers, and economic development officials
By connecting federal incentives with local opportunities, our team transformed complex tax policy into accessible pathways for economic revitalization in energy transition communities.
