The phaseouts for elective payment and the statutory exception apply to the following credits:
- Renewable Electricity Production Credit (IRC § 45)
- Clean Electricity Production Credit (IRC § 45Y)
- Energy Credit (IRC § 48)
- Clean Electricity Investment Credit (IRC § 48E)
Applicable entities are generally tax-exempt organizations, state and local governments, Indian tribal governments, Alaska Native Corporations, the Tennessee Valley Authority or rural electric cooperatives. The notice also requests comments which will help develop future proposed regulations.
