On January 7, 2025, Treasury and the IRS issued final rules for the sections 45Y and 48E technology-neutral Clean Electricity Investment and Production Tax Credits, replacing the prior section 45 and section 48 Production and Investment Tax Credits. Qualified facilities for Section 45Y and 48E credits are determined by life-cycle analyses calculating total greenhouse gas emissions rates from energy production, including storage capacity.
