Production Tax Credit

The production tax credit (PTC) pays a project owner for each kilowatt-hour of clean electricity it generates and sells, for 10 years. In 2026 it is worth about 3 cents per kWh when prevailing wage rules are met. New projects claim it under Section 45Y, and it often beats the ITC for high-output wind and solar.
