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.

"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."

Maas Energy Works is a family-owned renewable energy business with headquarters in Redding, California. MEW develops, owns, and operates renewable energy facilities by partnering with dairy families to create biogas out of cow manure and other organic wastes. MEW then uses that biogas to generate vehicle fuel, electricity, heat, CO2, and soon, hydrogen. The founders of Maas Energy Works, Daryl and Christianna Maas, believe this waste-to-energy transformation demonstrates their belief that God created humanity in His image to redeem and create. MEW's 220 employees operate with excellence the nation's largest fleet of over 80 dairy digesters in 9 states. For more information, visit www.maasenergy.com.
