Announcement of Tax Credit Allocations

The Department of the Treasury, IRS, and DOE have announced up to $6 billion in tax credit allocations for projects that promote clean energy manufacturing, recycling, critical materials refining, and greenhouse gas emission reduction at industrial facilities. The 48C(e) program, managed by DOE’s Office of Manufacturing & Energy Supply Chains (MESC), aims to support these initiatives.

Established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and expanded by the inflation reduction act of 2022, the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (48C) offers tax credits for investments in advanced energy projects. The recent allocation of $4 billion for over 100 projects, including those in designated energy communities, is a step towards achieving these goals.

Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk emphasized the importance of investing in domestic manufacturing and clean energy supply chains to create jobs and enhance energy resilience. Learn more about the program here.
