The Energy Act of 2020 includes a two-year extension of the investment tax credit (ITC) used by solar power generators (keeping the ITC at 26% through year-end 2022 instead of falling to 22% in calendar year 2021), a one-year extender for the production tax credit (PTC) used by wind developers, and a new 30% ITC for offshore wind projects that commence construction by the end of 2025.
