Clean Energy Tax Credits After OBBBA: Domestic Content Bonus Credit

Navigating Sections 45Y and 48E, IRS Guidance, Safe Harbors, PFE Restrictions, Certification and Recordkeeping

About the Course

Introduction

This webinar will guide tax, project finance, and renewable energy counsel on the domestic content bonus credit and related clean energy tax credit compliance issues after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), IRS Notice 2025-8, Notice 2025-42, and Notice 2026-15. The panel will discuss domestic content thresholds, IRS elective safe harbors, certification and recordkeeping, beginning-of-construction issues, prohibited foreign entity restrictions, material assistance rules, and more.

Description

The Inflation Reduction Act created domestic content bonus credit opportunities for qualifying clean energy projects under Sections 45, 48, 45Y, and 48E. Those opportunities have evolved and shifted substantially in the years since the IRA went into effect and the IRS issued Notice 2023-38. Notice 2024-41 introduced an elective safe harbor for some project technologies and Notice 2025-8 implemented a first updated elective safe harbor. Notice 2026-15 added interim guidance addressing material assistance from prohibited foreign entities for Sections 45X, 45Y, and 48E.

OBBBA made significant changes to clean energy credits. Wind and solar projects face new timing constraints under Sections 45Y and 48E. These developments emphasize the critical importance of coordinating tax, procurement, construction, and financing.

Listen as our panel discusses the domestic content bonus credit and clean energy tax credit landscape after OBBBA and best practices for renewable energy and storage transactions.
