Energy Tax Credits for Schools Hub

Elective Pay is a federal program that allows non-taxable entities—such as public school districts—to receive cash reimbursements for energy tax credits earned by installing eligible energy technologies. Through Elective Pay, school districts can access federal energy tax credits to defray the cost of highly-efficient, modern energy technologies, including ground-source heat pumps, solar panels, thermal and energy storage projects, and electric vehicle charging stations. These upgrades can help districts reduce operating costs and create safer, more resilient facilities. Energy tax credits are noncompetitive, unlimited, and uncapped. UndauntedK12’s Energy Tax Credits for Schools Hub provides up-to-date information and resources to help district leaders learn about these tax credits, understand recent changes, and make the most of this opportunity.
