Canada’s Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (CTITC) continues to play a central role in advancing wind, solar and energy storage deployment across the country. As projects move from announcement to execution, developers and investors are navigating real-world questions around eligibility, documentation, audits and compliance.
This webinar brings together leading practitioners from LCAB and Deloitte to share practical insights from the latest year of ITC claims and implementation experience. Drawing on active project portfolios across Canada, speakers will provide a grounded update on how the program is working in practice and what organizations should be doing now to position projects for successful claims.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of evolving expectations from regulators, common pitfalls emerging through audits, and how early planning can improve outcomes for both developers and capital providers.
Key takeaways
- Why documentation remains the single most important success factor
- How small technical and administrative details can materially affect eligibility and claim value
- Strategies to plan ahead and structure projects to maximize CTITC benefits
Moderated by Fernando Melo, CanREA’s Senior Director of Public Affairs and Federal Policy, this session is designed for developers, independent power producers, investors, tax professionals, EPCs and project stakeholders seeking practical guidance on navigating Canada’s clean economy investment tax credit landscape in 2026.
