Wrapping Up 2024: Foss & Company’s Year in Reflection
As we reflect on 2024, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the journey we’ve shared—a year of growth, challenges, and achievements. From launching new initiatives to celebrating team successes, we’ve accomplished so much together. Let’s take a moment to look back at the highlights that made 2024 truly remarkable.
Celebrating Success: Key Milestones of 2024
Last year, our commitment to excellence drove us to explore new opportunities, deepen our expertise and build stronger partnerships. We’ve made strides in pioneering innovative solutions in transferable tax credits, advancing clean energy initiatives, and fostering community revitalization through historic preservation. By delivering forward-thinking strategies, we’ve empowered developers and investors to unlock the full potential of tax credits and create lasting value.

- Anemoi Energy Storage (Edinburg, TX) Not only is our third investment in a utility scale battery energy storage system project, but our first investment utilizing a t-flip structure. This closing features a standalone 200 MW / 400 MWh battery energy storage system.
