Tax Credits for Offshore Wind Turbine Component Manufacturers
This act introduces new tax credits for companies manufacturing offshore wind turbine components in the United States. The goal is to support local production and create jobs in the renewable energy sector. Companies can receive credits for investment costs and for produced components, provided they meet specific wage and apprenticeship requirements.
Key points
Companies investing in the production of offshore wind turbine components in the U.S. can receive a tax credit of 30% of qualified investments.
Companies producing components like blades, towers, nacelles, drive trains, foundations, substations, vessels, and cables can receive a tax credit for each unit produced.
To qualify for full credits, companies must pay prevailing wages and employ a specified percentage of apprentices.
The act aims to boost renewable energy production in the U.S. and create new industrial jobs.
Tax credits will be phased out after 2028 and fully terminated after 2030.
