Federal list screening for EVE Energy
EVE Energy carries a result for 3 of the 4federal restricted-party lists below. "No screening record" means neither source covers that list; it is not a finding that the company is absent from it, and no claim on this page counts it as a clean result.
Results come from two places: the curated company record, and the live federal list index re-ingested from the agencies. Where they disagree the index wins and the row says so. The index can only add a designation, never clear one -- no confident match in the index is not evidence that a company is absent from a list.

Summary
Chinese-headquartered entity. Meets FEOC definition under IRA.
Growing Chinese battery maker supplying several US storage integrators.
A FEOC determination is entity-level. Whether a specific project or component qualifies for the 45Y, 48E and 45X credits also depends on material-assistance cost ratios and the applicable begin-construction or sale date under IRS Notice 2026-15 (Feb 12, 2026), which this page does not evaluate.
How this answer is determined
The prohibited-foreign-entity restrictions on the 45Y, 48E and 45X clean energy credits were added by OBBBA (P.L. 119-21), enacted July 4, 2025 and are administered under IRS Notice 2026-15 (Feb 12, 2026). A company answers "yes" on this page when it is named on a federal restricted-party list, or when it is organized in a covered nation (China, Russia, Iran or North Korea). Where ownership or component sourcing leaves the question genuinely open, the answer is "uncertain" rather than a clean result -- and that holds even for a company organized in a covered nation, because a record flagged for component-level analysis is answering a narrower question than the entity-level test.
A separate ownership and control test can make a company prohibited even with a clean list screen: a specified foreign entity can appoint a covered officer (board member, president, CEO or CFO); a single specified foreign entity owns 25 percent or more; specified foreign entities together own 40 percent or more; specified foreign entities together hold 15 percent or more of the entity's debt. Those tests need the cap table and debt structure and are not evaluated here.
