What is the credit rate for thermal energy storage?
Thermal Storage: For thermal energy storage property, the provision provides a base credit rate of 6 percent and a bonus credit rate of up to 30 (plus 10% if domestic content) percent of the basis of energy property. Projects qualify for the bonus rate if they meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.
What is a safe harbor for thermal energy storage?
A safe harbor provides that the time profile rule is met if the thermal energy storage property can store sufficient energy to heat or cool a building interior for at least one hour.
What regulatory guidance has the government released on energy storage?
Of particular importance to the energy storage industry, the government has released final regulatory guidance for the ITC (both Section 48 and 48E of the Code), prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) requirements, and transferability and direct payment, as well as other guidance on the energy community and domestic content tax credit “adders.”
Who qualifies for the thermal energy storage bonus rate?
Projects qualify for the bonus rate if they meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. The credit is available for thermal energy storage projects that are placed in service after December 31, , and that begin construction before January 1, . Applicable to both public and private entities.
How does a thermal energy storage system work?
When the thermal energy storage (TES) system discharges (orange chart = discharging cycles), typically during peak electricity demand, it replaces the building’s chillers (black), so the building A/C operates on stored energy (green chart = charging cycles) instead of electric energy from the grid.
