The package includes a variety of key incentives for businesses that invest in clean technology, including expansion of the Section 48C advanced energy manufacturing property tax credit that would “uncap” the credit for solar, fuel cell, and energy storage systems, while providing an additional $3 billion in tax credits for other technologies.
