The solar and clean energy industries are seeing a surge in demand for expertise on how to implement and comply with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)’s Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship (PWA) requirements. In order to receive full value of the tax credits for solar and clean energy projects above 1 MW in size, projects must meet the IRA’s prevailing wage and registered apprenticeship requirements while also making sure to follow the new timelines and additional requirements under One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) passed on July 4, 2025.
This workshop will start with Alliant Consulting providing the knowledge and tools companies need to implement and document their efforts correctly for IRA PWA requirement compliance. The event will also include a practical panel discussion on real world best practices for PWA compliance on IRA projects with experts from leading solar companies.
This event will include robust Q&A on Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship Requirement compliance and best practices.
Whether you are involved in determining prevailing wage classifications, documenting apprentice requests, or deciding on your company’s apprenticeship approach, this training will provide you with useful insights and takeaways. This event is designed for project owners/developers, EPCs, and subcontractors to better equip their HR managers, apprenticeship managers, payroll managers, labor compliance specialists, on-site supervisors and others involved in their companies’ construction projects that fall under these requirements.
