Restricting Tax Credits for Renewable Energy on Agricultural Land.
This act aims to limit tax credits for solar and wind power facilities built by public utilities on agricultural land. This means that constructing such facilities on land designated for farming may become less profitable, intending to protect agricultural land from development. This impacts the availability of land for food production and could alter rural landscapes.
Key points
New rules prevent public utilities from receiving tax credits for building solar farms on agricultural land.
Similarly, tax credits will not apply to wind farms built by public utilities on agricultural land.
These changes apply to facilities placed in service after the act's enactment, potentially affecting future energy projects and agricultural land preservation.
