Potential Foreign Candidate for the Solar REIT Structure

In an earlier post, it was noted that allowing solar developers to take advantage of the REIT tax regime could benefit both investors and the solar industry in the US and abroad. Its aggressive goals for large-scale solar development combined with rapidly approaching expiration dates for financial incentives make Italy a very strong potential candidate in the latter category. The Italians notably already have a REIT-like structure in place, the Società d’Investimento Immobiliare Quotate (SIIQ).
