The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 includes the largest energy incentive effort in U.S. history. It builds on the energy initiatives included in the American Reinvestment Recovery Act of 2009, generating opportunities for organizations across various industries to receive tax credits for implementing clean energy solutions.
The IRA includes more than 70 investment, excise and production tax credits designed to facilitate the transition to cleaner energy production, promote advanced manufacturing, encourage the adoption of clean vehicles (CVs) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the use of alternative fuels and energy efficient technologies. Additionally, significant enhancements have been made to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Department of Energy (DOE) loan programs.
