Treasury Department, IRS Release Final Transferability Rules

April 25, 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released final rules today on the transferability provisions included in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Following is a statement from Ray Long, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), on the guidance:

“It is difficult to overstate the significance of today’s announcement for the clean energy market. Transferability is a powerful tool that broadens the reach of clean energy tax credits and expands the supply of available financing for the energy transition.

“The final rules issued by Treasury today will open the door to tens of billions of dollars in additional annual clean energy investments and attract more diverse participants into the market. As our industry continues to scale to meet the nation’s skyrocketing demand for clean electricity, project owners and investors now have the certainty needed to fully leverage this key provision.

“We applaud the Department for releasing this comprehensive guidance and look forward to our ongoing partnership with the agency to achieve regulations that set the stage for America’s clean energy economy.”

Background:
ACORE submitted comments in response to the proposed regulations concerning transferability and direct pay issued by Treasury and the IRS last June, which built from prior individual and joint comments on a range of pertinent issues. ACORE staff has also participated in multiple conversations and roundtables with the Biden administration on the implementation of the IRA.

For most of our lives, many of us boomers have believed that the biggest threat to the United States was our president, starting with Tricky Dick Nixon, the inventor of the “trickle-down economics,” liar Ronald Reagan, and GW (the moron) Bush.

But yes, none of us was prepared for the cold, calculating criminal who is Donald Trump.

The fact that human activity is unsustainable has been revealed to us gradually over the last century. Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” was published 63 years ago.

That said, the ideas of climate change, ocean acidification, and loss of biodiversity have been essentially unchallenged by scientists for just the last couple of decades.

The only thing standing in the way of rapid environmental progress is greed, and in the end, that may prove to be an unbeatable foe. Decarbonizing our grid and transportation sector will eventually destroy the fossil fuel industry, a group so powerful that it has a stranglehold, both on our lawmakers and on our corporate-owned media, that works so hard to misinform our citizenry.

It’s still possible that our most senior military leaders will insert themselves in time to prevent some truly catastrophic event here in the United States/abroad.
