The fiscal cliff tax deal reached on January 1st, 2013 has made permanent changes to the tax code that will affect the clean energy industry. This Thursday, January 31, 2013, the New England Clean Energy Council will host a panel discussion to address several key issues of direct importance to clean energy companies, project developers, and potential financiers, including:

- A close look at public-private financing mechanisms
- A discussion of the American Tax Relief Act of 2012 (a.k.a. "fiscal cliff tax deal"), and how it affects clean energy companies
- The status of clean energy tax provisions, such as the Energy Production Tax Credit (Section 48) and the Renewable Electricity Production Tax Credit (Section 45)
- How Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) could inject low-cost capital into the clean energy industry
