Protecting Farmland: Ending Federal Funding and Tax Credits for Solar Projects.
This law aims to safeguard high-quality agricultural land by preventing its conversion into large-scale solar farms. It prohibits federal agencies from funding such projects and removes eligibility for several key clean energy tax credits if solar facilities are built on prime farmland. This makes developing solar installations on the best farming land financially unviable, prioritizing food production.
Key points
Federal agencies are banned from providing funds, loans, or guarantees for ground-mounted solar projects that convert prime farmland.
Tax credits for clean energy (including residential and commercial solar) will no longer apply to facilities placed on land designated as prime farmland.
