OVERVIEW

First established in 1978 and modernized by a Republican-led Congress in 2006, the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) spurs private investment in advanced energy projects and lowers the cost of electricity to consumers. New analysis indicates that if the technology neutral ITC and Production Tax Credit were repealed, residential energy prices will rise 7% by 2026 – a $110 annual bill increase on average – and keep climbing throughout the decade. After 2024, the ITC becomes technology-neutral such that any generation technology that meets specific standards may be eligible for the credit.
