Follow on Google News | Pure Power Advisors Forming Los Angeles Solar New Market Tax Credit Fund with Verengo SolarPure Power Advisors and Verengo Solar bring clean, renewable power to low-income communities in Los Angeles.
By: Pure Power Advisors The Fund will deploy the entire $10 million New Market Tax Credit allocation in 2011. New Market Tax Credits leveraged as part of the Fund’s capital structure will yield substantially increased returns to Fund investors and the project developers, while providing benefits to the low-income community served by the New Market Tax Credit program. The Fund’s mission-based focus on solar projects in qualifying low-income census tracts in Los Angeles provides a unique opportunity to “twin up” New Market Tax Credits with the Section 1603 cash grant for renewable energy property, to deliver solar energy to locations and users who may not otherwise have access, and to provide reduced energy costs. The Fund delivers a structured financing vehicle to investors who are “mission driven” to achieve community impacts that help meet Community Reinvestment Act requirements or other institutional “community investment goals.” In addition to furthering the adoption of clean, solar power in Los Angeles County, the Fund will target the County’s low-income community, providing a direct economic benefit through a reduction in household energy costs.
