Federal tax credits for wind and solar energy production and investment would be phased out over four years, dropping by 20 percentage points each year until they hit zero. The bill would also immediately block wind and solar projects from transferring their clean energy tax credits to other companies — a mechanism that currently helps finance new renewable projects. Other forms of clean energy, like nuclear or geothermal, would not be affected by the phase-out.
Congressional Summary

Specifically, the bill phases out over five years the (1) clean electricity investment tax credit for investments in a facility that generates electricity using solar or wind energy, and (2) clean electricity production tax credit for electricity produced from solar or wind energy. Further, the bill eliminates the ability of a taxpayer to transfer to a third party in exchange for cash any portion of the clean electricity investment tax credit and clean electricity production tax credit attributable to solar or wind energy.
