The U.S. Department of the Treasury and IRS have released final rules on Inflation Reduction Act provisions that aim to expand the reach of the clean energy tax credits.
The Act created the new elective pay and transferability credit delivery mechanisms that aims to help enable state, local and Tribal governments; non-profit organizations and other entities take advantage of clean energy tax credits.
“The Inflation Reduction Act’s new tools to access clean energy tax credits are a catalyst for meeting President Biden’s historic economic and climate goals,” says Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen. “They are acting as a force multiplier, bringing governments and nonprofits to the table for the first time and enabling companies to realize greater value from incentives to deploy new clean power and manufacture clean energy components. More clean energy projects are being built quickly and affordably, and more communities are benefitting from the growth of the clean energy economy.”
Along with final rules on elective pay, Treasury today also issued a separate Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, intended to provide further clarity and flexibility for applicable entities that co-own clean energy projects and would like to utilize elective pay.
To facilitate eligible entities receiving a direct payment, transferring a clean energy credit, or claiming a CHIPS credit, the IRS built Energy Credits Online for recipients to complete the pre-file registration process and receive a registration number.

New ACORE Resource Breaks Down the Complexities of Energy Tax Equity Structures
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A new report from ACORE presents survey data from leading investors about the performance of tax equity structures and how they continue to play a significant role in financing clean energy projects.
For more than two decades, tax equity has provided a stable private financing mechanism and an important source of capital for new clean energy projects in the United States. The U.S. clean energy industry now attracts over $45 billion in tax credit investments annually, of which more than $20 billion is provided by banks through tax equity arrangements. The report provides an expert look into how tax equity financing transactions are structured and the risks and returns associated with these deals.
Key takeaways from the report include:
- Overwhelmingly Positive Returns: An ACORE survey representing over 75% of the tax equity market showed that these investors typically receive a median 8.4% return on current investments.
- Minimal Downside Risk: Risks associated with recapture, foreclosure, and bankruptcy have been exceptionally low for tax equity investors.
- Demand for Tax Equity Exceeds Supply: Tax equity is responsible for between one third and two thirds of a clean energy project’s overall financing, and about 45% of tax equity is provided by banks through tax equity arrangements. Demand for tax equity will accelerate as investors look to finance energy storage and other eligible technologies that continue to qualify for tax credits.
“This report reflects ACORE’s commitment to delivering solid, impartial insights from the entire span of the clean energy industry,” said Ray Long, President and CEO of ACORE. “Getting clean energy tax policy right is the key to ensuring the United States is ready to deliver the power needed for tomorrow’s economy.”
The Risk Profile of Tax Equity Investments: 2026 Edition, is available in full on the ACORE website.

Right-wingers, like the fellow shown here, tend to make broad and unfair generalizations about the left.
Progressives would like to see an economy that works for everyone, not just the uber-rich. We want wealth creation for the people who need it most.
The best way to make this happen is strong, high-quality public education and universal healthcare.
These are not radical concepts; this is the way the vast majority of the developed world operates.
