Reunion Releases Q3 '24 Market Intelligence Report on Transferable Tax Credits

Analysis of ~$10 billion in cumulative transaction volume shows increased buyer demand, driving pricing upwards and shortening transaction times

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Reunion, a leading facilitator of clean energy tax credit transactions, today announced the release of its Q3 '24 Market Intelligence Report, providing insights into the rapidly evolving market for tax credits transferable under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The report highlights significant trends, such as the growing presence of large corporate buyers, surging demand for §45X credits, and shifts in pricing and transaction terms.

Key Market Trends

• New corporate buyers have driven pricing up: An influx of corporations with $100M+ annual tax liabilities entered the market in mid-2024. Buyers stepped in as their current year tax liabilities became clearer, and they gained confidence from seeing peer transactions close.
• Most significant price increase for large ITCs from creditworthy sellers: More buyers gained comfort with ITCs as the year progressed, and as the supply of large 2024 credits dwindled. In Q3, bids climbed as high as $0.95 on large ITCs with investment grade sellers, up from $0.92–$0.93 earlier this year.
• §45X credits see explosive growth: As the fastest-growing credit in the market, §45X credits are particularly attractive to large buyers seeking transactions between $100M and $500M+.
• Transaction speed has increased: Reunion-facilitated deals now close within 45 days from term sheet signing on average, although pre-term sheet preparation remains the most time-intensive step.
• Early bids have started on 2025 credits: Forward-looking buyers have started transacting on 2025 credits to access a wider selection of credits, and avoid year-end bidding wars.
