Federal list screening for Prolec GE (now Prolec Transformers)
Prolec GE (now Prolec Transformers) 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.

A clean list screen does not by itself establish that a company is outside the FEOC rules. Under OBBBA (P.L. 119-21), enacted July 4, 2025, and under IRS Notice 2026-15 (Feb 12, 2026), an entity is also prohibited if a specified foreign entity owns 25 percent or more of it, if such entities together own 40 percent or more, if they hold 15 percent or more of its debt, or if one can appoint a board member or senior officer. Those tests require the cap table and debt structure, which this page does not cover.
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.
