Latitude Media Cites Horizon Advisory's BUYER BEWARE in Coverage of Clean Energy Supply Chain Risks

Latitude Media reported on February 13, 2026 about US Treasury Department “prohibited foreign entity” guidance and risks posed to clean tech supply chains by companies claiming compliance in an article titled ‘Underwhelming’ FEOC guidance punts on industry’s key question. Horizon Advisory’s recently published BUYER BEWARE report was cited in the story summarizing the gaps that remain in Treasury guidance around foreign entity of concern risks that will impact eligibility for US tax credits:

In a report released earlier this month, strategic consultancy Horizon Advisory warned U.S. developers that the market is “awash with claims of regulatory compliance” from manufacturers tied to China, and encouraged them to adopt a rigorous framework for vetting everything from personnel and investors to technological and manufacturing dependencies.

Chinese companies are using “sophisticated” strategies to circumvent U.S. restrictions, the report said, pointing to companies doing business through subsidiaries in third-party countries like Singapore, and doubling down on “made in the USA” marketing, despite relying on Chinese inputs and ownership.

Horizon Advisory’s framework for vetting “Foreign Entity of Concern” indicators — and risks resulting from China’s dominance all along energy supply chains value chain is summarized in the recently published BUYER BEWARE report.
