## Summary

**Extends key clean-energy tax credits and changes when producers and investors qualify.** The bill would extend the Residential Clean Energy Credit through calendar year 2034 and revise the Clean Electricity Production and Clean Electricity Investment credits to tie their applicable years to an emissions benchmark or to 2032. - Families and homeowners: Homeowners who install qualifying residential clean energy systems would have more time to claim the Residential Clean Energy Credit, now available through 2034. - Electricity producers and developers: The Clean Electricity Production Credit’s applicable year would be the later of meeting a 25% emissions benchmark or 2032, which changes when new projects become eligible. - Clean energy investors and projects: The Clean Electricity Investment Credit is streamlined by removing certain timing restrictions and subsections, altering how investment projects determine their applicable year.
