Webinar | Navigating FEOC & Safe Harbor

How to Keep Your 2025 Battery Storage Projects on Track

Missed our live webinar? Watch the full recording to understand the new FEOC sourcing rules, Safe Harbor requirements, and actionable steps to meet 2025 project deadlines.

The renewable energy landscape is evolving fast — and so are the rules that shape how developers plan, finance, and execute battery energy storage projects (BESS).

In this recorded webinar, GridVest’s team breaks down the Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) restrictions taking effect in 2026 and explains how Safe Harbor provisions can help developers preserve their Investment Tax Credit (ITC) eligibility in 2025 before new sourcing limits apply.

Whether you’re an EPC, developer, or project financier, this session offers a clear roadmap for navigating compliance, procurement, and construction timelines in an evolving policy environment.

  1. How to interpret FEOC sourcing rules for battery storage — including what counts (and what doesn’t) toward component percentages and the 5% Safe Harbor spending rule.

  2. The critical steps to complete in 2025 to trigger Safe Harbor eligibility — what legal experts are advising and why timing and title transfer are key.

  3. The real-world project hurdles developers face, from warehousing and compliance verification to permitting and commissioning — and how to plan around them.

  4. How lenders and investors are treating FEOC risk, and the documentation your project needs to remain financeable and ITC-eligible.

  5. Actionable strategies from GridVest to accelerate compliant procurement, streamline Safe Harbor documentation, and keep your project timeline on track for 2026 deployment.
