Don’t Leave Your Money on the Table
You Could Be Entitled to in R&D Tax Credits
Are you improving grid systems, testing renewable technologies, upgrading infrastructure, or working to reduce energy loss and environmental impact?
If so, your company may already qualify for Federal and State R&D Tax Credits—even if you don’t think of your work as traditional “research”. These credits are designed to reward
innovation in energy production, utilities, clean tech, infrastructure, and environmental systems. And yet, over 90% of eligible energy and utility companies never claim them.
At Sterling ENT, we help companies across the energy and utilities sector uncover these hidden incentives. There’s no cost to you unless we find credits. No risk. No obligation.

Innovation in the energy and utilities space can take many forms. If your team is problem- solving, improving systems, or testing new approaches—you may already be doing qualifying R&D.
What’s the Benefit?
R&D tax credits can return $10,000 to $50,000+ per year back into your business—and often much more. These credits lower your tax burden or deliver cash refunds, freeing up capital to
reinvest in upgrades, innovation, and sustainability.
