Compliance with Foreign Entity of Concern (“FEOC”) Restrictions for Battery Energy Storage Systems (“BESS”): Outlook on New Rules and Global FEOC-Compliant Supply

You are invited to join our webinar on November 12, 2025 at 11:30am ET!

To receive 48E, 45Y, or 45X tax credits next year, battery energy storage systems will need to comply with new restrictions on Foreign Entities of Concern (“FEOC”), also known as “Prohibited Foreign Entities (PFE)”. The global supply chain for BESS systems is rapidly adjusting, but will there be enough to meet market demand for BESS products? How deep down the supply chain do FEOC requirements reach? What are the hidden ownership structures that could render supply non-compliant? What questions will forthcoming guidance from the Treasury Department address? Compliance with new FEOC rules is more complex and uncertain than it may seem.

Join experts from Benchmark Mineral Insights and SEIA for a panel exploring the knowns and unknowns for BESS FEOC compliance.
