Saving $100 Million for Utility-Scale Projects Across Texas

This independent developer of renewable power generation in Texas was advancing multiple utility-scale projects statewide.

Challenge:

  • Our client needed to secure 12 separate property tax abatements across six projects, each essential to achieving the expected financial returns.
  • All abatements were tied to strict deadlines within expiring programs, creating a narrow window to act.
  • Success required coordinating applications across multiple taxing jurisdictions while navigating compressed timelines and complex regulatory requirements.

Merit Solution:

  • Merit oversaw the applications from preparation through approval, ensuring no opportunities were missed and all program deadlines were met.
  • Our team worked closely with local taxing jurisdictions, the client and the Texas Comptroller to align requirements, streamline communication and ensure timely approvals.
  • Leveraging the depth and experience of our team, Merit managed the full process from start to finish, ensuring no opportunities were missed and all program deadlines were met.
