The 48C credit is a tax credit funded by the White House’s Investing in America agenda through the Inflation Reduction Act, aimed at accelerating clean energy manufacturing and recycling and reducing greenhouse gas emissions at industrial facilities. It is an investment tax credit, which provides credits for up to 30% of qualified investments, provided they meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.

The projects receiving this tax credit address critical needs across the clean energy economy, including grid components (e.g., transformers), electric vehicle components and chargers, solar components, clean steel, critical materials processing and recycling, and other clean energy products. Multiple projects are located in traditional energy communities, which include communities with closed coal mines or coal plants—advancing the White House’s commitment to invest in the communities that have kept America’s economy powered for generations.
