The bill also excludes solar facilities placed on prime or unique farmland from the clean electricity production tax credit. Under current law, businesses may be able to claim an energy investment tax credit for qualified solar property placed into service before January 1, 2025. This bill excludes expenses for solar property placed into service on prime or unique farmland (e.g., land with the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for the production of food and other related uses) from the energy investment tax credit. Further, under current law, a business may also be able to claim the clean electricity production tax credit for the production of electricity using a qualified facility that has no greenhouse gas emissions.
