Empact Technologies Secures Six-Year Compliance Partnership with Maas Energy Works Supporting 56 Renewable Energy Projects
Empact to provide prevailing wage and domestic content compliance management across Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) and solar portfolio
HOUSTON, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Empact Technologies ("Empact"), a leading provider of clean energy tax credit compliance and risk management solutions, announced a six-year agreement with Maas Energy Works ("MEW"), the nation's largest dairy digester developer and operator, to provide prevailing wage and domestic content compliance support across 56 renewable energy projects.
The agreement includes 55 renewable natural gas (RNG) production facilities and one solar project, spanning both construction-phase and operating assets. Empact will support MEW from pre-construction through operations, managing compliance obligations tied to federal tax incentives, including prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) requirements and domestic content standards.
Under the terms of the agreement, Empact will deploy its NexusIQ™ platform to manage compliance tracking, documentation, and reporting across MEW's portfolio. This includes overseeing PWA compliance during the construction of new RNG facilities, as well as managing prevailing wage compliance for operating RNG projects throughout the tax credit lifecycle, including applicable 45Z and investment tax credit (ITC) periods.
Empact will work closely with MEW's internal compliance team, serving as an extension of the organization to help coordinate with EPC firms, subcontractors, and suppliers. Through centralized compliance oversight and structured reporting, the partnership is designed to mitigate risk, strengthen audit readiness, and support tax credit monetization.
"Partnering with Empact allows us to focus on building and operating Renewable Energy that Works," said Daryl Maas, CEO of Maas Energy Works. "In this industry, we need to make sure our construction and operations work complies with a lot of standards. Empact's expertise and technology platform give us confidence that we can preserve long-term federal tax credit value."
