Your Energy Project Qualifies For More Funding
ITC. MACRS. Bonus depreciation. 179D. Federal and state energy grants. Utility rebates. Most companies capture one. We find and stack all of them.
30 minutes. No obligation. We tell you exactly what's on the table before you spend a dollar.
This is built for one type of company.
Agriculture and manufacturing companies with $60,000 or more in annual energy costs who own their facilities and have federal tax liability worth sheltering. If you are a subsidiary, a nonprofit, a government entity, or a tenant, the flagship program is not a fit. We will tell you that on the first call.
If you are a smaller business or earlier-stage operator who wants to understand what programs exist for your situation, we offer an Incentive Discovery Session for that. Learn more here.
Most energy projects leave 40 to 60 percent of available incentives uncaptured
Not because the money isn't there. Because nobody mapped the full stack. Your solar contractor knows the ITC. Your CPA knows depreciation. Your state economic development office knows their program. Nobody talks to each other and nobody is looking at all of it at once.
That's the gap. A $1M energy project can have $400,000 to $700,000 in available incentives across six or seven programs. Most companies capture one or two and call it done.
We built a firm around finding the rest.
The Total Incentive Stack Program
We go through your project and your financial and identify every legitimate dollar available across every applicable program:
- We sequence them in the right order, flag the risks, and hand you a document your CPA can act on immediately. We work alongside your CPA. We don't replace them.
- If we can't identify at least $75,000 in eligible incentives on your project, you pay nothing for the analysis. Written guarantee.
- After the mapping, if you want us to execute the capture, we do that too. Fully performance-aligned. You only pay meaningfully when we deliver.
What happens on the free Incentive Assessment
- We pull your basic energy and project data
- We confirm you meet our minimums on project size, tax appetite, and timing
- We give you a rough incentive range and tell you honestly whether Phase 1 makes sense
The call is free. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you. If it is, we'll show you what's sitting on the table before you decide anything.
We find $75,000 in eligible incentives on your project or the analysis is free.
- We pull your basic energy and project data
- Incentives must be eligible and implementable for your company's structure
- If we don't hit $75,000 on paper, you get your money back within 14 business days
We've done this long enough to know that a commercial or industrial energy project of meaningful size almost always clears that bar. The guarantee exists because we are confident enough in the process to put it in writing.
Three distinct phases working together to deliver one successful outcome
Incentive Mapping We analyze your project and your financial and identify every applicable incentive program. You get a full stack map with sequencing, risk flags, and a CPA-ready memo. Guaranteed or refunded.
Capture and Compliance We execute everything identified in Phase 1. Applications, contractor selection, construction-start documentation, prevailing wage compliance, utility coordination. Your Phase 1 investment credits toward this engagement if you move forward within 90 days. Performance-aligned pricing. You pay meaningfully when we deliver.
Fractional Chief Incentives Officer For companies with multiple facilities or ongoing capital projects, we stay on as your permanent outsourced incentives office. We track program changes, identify new opportunities, and coordinate every capture as you grow.
We built this process inside the federal grant program with the worst approval odds in agricultural energy.
USDA REAP is one of the most competitive federal agricultural energy grant programs in the country. Underfunded, oversubscribed, and administratively brutal. We wrote applications for it for years and won over 85% of the time.
Not because we were lucky. Because we controlled what we could control. We worked directly with state administrators before applications were submitted. We documented every outcome and built the process tighter with each cycle. That same rigor now runs across every program we work on. The programs are different. The methodology is identical.
Newell Coach Corporation | Miami, Oklahoma | Manufacturing
Newell Coach is one of America's most recognized luxury motorhome manufacturers, operating since 1967. When CGF identified their incentive stack, here is what was on the table on a $1,070,600 energy project:
USDA REAP grant: $535,800
Federal Investment Tax Credit: $160,440
100% first-year bonus depreciation on remaining basis
Total Year 1 incentives: over $855,000 on a $1,070,600 project. Newell had no idea any of this existed before we called.
"Clint approached us about the different financial incentive packages that are available that we really had no clue about. He did a thorough inspection of our property and utility invoices to identify which programs would be most effective. He walked us through the ROI and helped answer all my skeptical questions. It really was turnkey."

Frequently asked questions.
No. Solar is one of several energy project types that qualify for incentive stacking. We work across solar, efficiency upgrades, HVAC, refrigeration, lighting, and other commercial and industrial energy projects. The programs follow the project type, not the other way around.
No. We can help you design a project scope that qualifies for the full incentive stack. Many clients come to us before they have selected a contractor or committed to a project.
Your CPA handles tax compliance. That is not the same as incentive optimization. Most CPAs know ITC and depreciation. Almost none are tracking state-specific grant programs, utility rebates, REAP cycles, and stacking order simultaneously. That is a full-time job. It is what we do. We work alongside your CPA, not around them.
Depending on where you are in the process, some incentives are still capturable. Others require construction-start documentation with a hard deadline. Book a call and we will tell you what is still on the table.
The current ITC structure requires a construction-start date on or before July 4, 2026 to qualify at the full rate. Missing that date has a material impact on the economics of any energy project. If you have a project in planning, that date is not flexible.

30 minutes. We look at your project and tell you exactly what programs apply and roughly what they're worth. No obligation to go further.
