IRS Clean Energy Tax Credits - National Center on School Infrastructure

The IRS Clean Energy Tax Credits provide refundable tax incentives for tax-exempt and governmental entities investing in clean energy projects. These credits apply to entities making an elective pay election for production or investment tax credits, subject to certain conditions such as domestic content requirements and facility size limitations. The program supports decarbonization efforts by offering financial incentives to promote renewable energy investments. Elective pay allows eligible entities to receive the full value of the credit as a tax payment, which the IRS processes as an overpayment and refunds accordingly.
