RE: The Impact of Proposed Bank Regulatory Capital Requirements on Tax Equity Investment in Clean Energy

Dear Director Brainard,

On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we are writing to express our profound concerns about proposed bank regulatory capital requirements that threaten to derail the clean energy transition. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has key goals which will benefit Americans: substantially lower the nation’s carbon emissions, catalyze investments in energy production and manufacturing, create good jobs, and lower energy costs. Providing efficient, low-cost capital is a key ingredient to accomplishing these goals.
