This bill adds a January 1, 2032 sunset provision to the Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit. It adds geothermal energy as a qualified renewable energy source. It increases the total amount of electricity that may be produced by qualified energy generators from 2.5 million megawatt hours up to 3.5 million megawatt hours. It limits the period for which a taxpayer may claim the renewable energy production tax credit to 10 years. And it extends to January 1, 2022 the date by which a qualified energy generator must first produce electricity to qualify for the renewable energy production tax credit.
