Timing Requirements for Cash Grant Qualification Sample Clauses

Timing Requirements for Cash Grant Qualification. To qualify for a cash grant, a solar project must be either placed in service in 2009, 2010 or 2011, or placed in service prior to 2017 if construction of such property began in 2009, 2010 or 2011. The Ivanpah projects are not expected to be placed in service before January 1, 2012. It is also clear that the projects did not commence construction before 2010 because no work was performed on site before October 2010 and no work was performed under a binding written contract prior to 2010. It is necessary, then, that construction commences with respect to the project’s solar generation assets in 2010 or 2011, in order for the project to qualify for a cash grant. A project will be considered to have started construction when “physical work of a significant nature” commences. See Treasury Guidance, at pg. 6. There are two ways to meet this test. First, an applicant may rely on a safe harbor that deems physical work of a significant nature to have begun when the applicant has incurred more than five percent of the total cost of the eligible property. An applicant may also demonstrate that physical work of a significant nature has commenced in 2010 or 2011 and qualify for a cash grant even if it does not satisfy the safe harbor requirements. This opinion letter analyzes whether the project companies are expected to satisfy the physical work test. Under the physical work test, construction is deemed to commence when physical work of a significant nature has commenced at the project site or, in some cases, at an offsite location. See id. The Treasury Guidance includes an example that says physical work of a significant nature begins at a wind farm with the beginning of the excavation of a turbine’s foundation, the setting of anchor bolts in the ground, or the pouring of concrete pads of the foundation. Physical work does not include preliminary activities such as planning or designing, securing financing, exploring, researching, clearing a site, test drilling to determine soil condition or excavation to change the contour of the land. See id. Treasury expanded on this example in a set of frequently asked questions (“FAQs”). It said that laying a single turbine’s foundation that will be a part of larger wind farm will generally be treated as the start of construction of the larger project’s specified energy property. Because Treasury was concerned about applicants starting construction in 2010 (and now 2011, with the amendment of section 1603 of the American Recove...
