The energy storage industry has continued to progress over the course of 2024 and into 2025, buoyed in significant part by the federal income tax benefits in the form of tax credits enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA). . This tax credit can help offset the costs associated with qualified energy property and facilities. How can a tax-exempt entity use these Investment Tax Credits (ITC)? Eligible tax-exempt and governmental entities can claim the § 48 ITC and § 48E Clean Electricity ITC for qualified energy property. . The recent growth in BESS is driven by tax incentives, utility portfolio standards, the need for grid stability, and economics. Before the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted in 2022, BESS could only access federal tax credit funding when powered by solar and required the business-owned. . New FEOC -- for "foreign entity of concern" -- rules will deny technology-neutral tax credits on new power plants and energy storage projects that use too much Chinese equipment and section 45X tax credits on US-made products that use too many Chinese inputs.
