PTC

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