Reunion's Q3 2024 Market Intelligence Report Unveiled
Reunion, a prominent facilitator in the clean energy tax credit trade, has released its Q3 2024 Market Intelligence Report, shedding light on the dynamic transformations occurring within the tax credit sector. This report offers compelling insights into the burgeoning market for transferable tax credits, particularly those associated with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). A notable finding is the increasing demand from large corporate buyers, which has influenced both pricing trends and transaction timelines.
Key Trends Shaping the Market
As we delve deeper into the report, several key trends stand out that indicate a rapidly evolving marketplace:
The Rise of Corporate Buyers
New entrants, particularly large corporations with annual tax liabilities exceeding $100 million, have significantly influenced market dynamics. Their entrance starting mid-2024 brought increased competition, leading to heightened buyer confidence as they observed successful peer transactions.
Price Growth in Large Investment Tax Credits
The price of large Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) has experienced upward momentum due to an increasing number of buyers becoming comfortable with ITCs as the year progresses. The dwindling supply of substantial 2024 credits further intensifies this demand. During Q3, bids for ITCs with investment-grade sellers soared to approximately $0.95, a notable increase from the earlier $0.92–$0.93 range.
Explosive Growth of Section 45X Credits
Among the various credits trading in the market, Section 45X has stood out as the fastest-growing option. Its particular appeal lies in attracting large buyers looking for transactions ranging from $100 million to well over $500 million. As more entities join this marketplace, growth is anticipated to continue.
Increasing Transaction Efficiency
On average, transactions facilitated by Reunion now conclude within 45 days from the signing of the term sheet. This duration indicates a more streamlined process, although preparations prior to the term sheet remain the most labor-intensive stage of negotiations.
Forward-Looking Transactions on 2025 Credits
Proactive buyer behavior is emerging, with many beginning transactions for 2025 credits. This approach allows buyers to access a broader selection of tax credits while avoiding potential bidding wars that may arise as the year draws to a close.
Projected Growth in Clean Energy Tax Credits
Reunion anticipates that in 2024, the total volume of clean energy tax credits transferred will range between $21 to $24 billion. As more companies recognize the advantages of participating in tax credit transfers, the market is expected to soar past $60 billion annually by 2030.
Engagement in Upcoming Webinars
To further engage with its audience, Reunion will be conducting a webinar, scheduled for early November. This session aims to elaborate on the insights shared in the report and address any questions from interested participants.

The staff at Reunion comprises skilled professionals dedicated to assisting both buyers and sellers in swiftly identifying suitable counterparties, conducting thorough due diligence, and mitigating potential risks.
