Beginning in 2025, the United States is introducing new technology-neutral tax credits aimed at promoting sustainable electricity generation. The two proposed credits replace the previous technology-specific Clean Electricity Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Clean Electricity Production Tax Credit (PTC), which were available for projects starting construction prior to December 31st, 2024.
