## Summary

**Ending major federal tax credits for new wind and solar projects that begin construction after 2030.** This bill would also deny a wide range of clean energy tax benefits to companies tied to the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republic of Iran, or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. - Developers and investors: Wind and solar facilities would not qualify for the clean electricity production credit (section 45Y) or the clean electricity investment credit (section 48E) if construction begins after December 31, 2030. The amendment’s effective date for those changes is January 1, 2026. - How construction timing is set: The bill would define "beginning of construction" using rules like Treasury Notice 2013-29, including the Physical Work Test, the Five Percent Safe Harbor, and continuity requirements. That definition controls which projects meet the 2030 cutoff. - Foreign-connected entities: A new denial rule would block many energy-related credits and deductions for "disqualified companies" created by or controlled by governments of concern, naming sections such as 45, 45Y, 48, 48E, 45Q, and 179D as examples. The Treasury Secretary must issue guidance within 180 days and the denials apply starting 180 days after that guidance is published.
