$BTTC Bitech Technologies Signs Term Sheet of $80 Million Investment Tax Credit for Its Flagship BESS Project
https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release...oject.html
Advances 100MW Capacity Battery Energy Storage System Project Toward Commercialization in Q2 2025
Newport Beach, CA, Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitech Technologies Corporation (OTCQB: BTTC), (the “Company” or “Bitech”), an independent power provider developing utility-scale battery energy storage initiatives and innovative renewable solutions, today announced that its operating subsidiary Emergen Energy, LLC has signed a non-binding term sheet for a tax credit transfer agreement with a leading renewable energy investment firm for Project Redbird, Bitech’s flagship 100 Megawatt (MW) capacity Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) project in Fort Bend County, Texas.
The investment firm offers innovative tax credit equity investments for affordable housing, historic rehabilitations, renewable energy, film, and other qualified projects, and has long-term relationships with institutional and individual investors, developers, and lenders participating in these federal and state programs.
Under the term sheet, the investment firm will attempt to arrange for the transfer of up to $80 million of federal investment tax credits (ITCs) derived from Project Redbird from Bitech to one or more purchasers pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 6418. Project Redbird is anticipated to generate approximately $78 million of investment tax credits by the third quarter of 2025 based on a 50% investment tax credit as the result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA). The transfer will be subject to one or more definitive transfer agreements with a prospective buyer or buyers.
“A tax credit transfer agreement would be an important milestone as we advance our flagship BESS project toward monetization,” said Benjamin Tran, Chairman and CEO of Bitech Technologies. “We are pleased to partner with a leading firm that has a stellar track record in renewable energy investments. In tandem with project equity investment or debt financing, we believe the tax credit transfer agreement will enable an initial Commercial Operation Date in the second quarter of 2025.”
Bitech expects to complete financing for its first two 100MW BESS projects in Texas in the second half of 2024 while expanding revenue opportunities with the U.S. Department of Energy. In early 2025, the Company expects to commence construction for its first two projects, finance a third project, and pursue strategic, joint venture opportunities. We believe that executing these near-term milestones will support Bitech’s future growth plans including the expansion of its BESS business from 1.96GW to 5GW over the next three to five years.
