The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct 1992) provided three types of incentives to support the development of renewable energy resources:

Permanent extension of the investment credit (Section 1916), provides a 10% investment credit for most solar technologies and geothermal;

Establishment of a production tax credit (PTC) of $0.015 per kWh (to be inflation-adjusted) for wind and closed-loop biomass, which is available to investor-owned utilities and non-utility generators for up to ten years for electricity produced in stations brought on-line before 1 July 1999. The programme was subsequently extended three times, and is set to expire at the end of 2008.

Establishment of a production incentive payment of $0.015/kWh (Section 1212, Renewable Energy Production Incentive) for publicly-owned utilities (that cannot avail themselves of the PTC because they pay no federal income taxes). The payment is available for solar, wind, biomass (excluding MSW) and geothermal (excluding dry steam). The programme was extended by Section 202 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (H.R. 6), which reauthorised appropriations for fiscal years 2006 through 2026 and expanded the list of eligible technologies and facilities owners.

Most recently, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 has amended both the PTC and the investment tax credit for renewable energy.

The $7 Trillion AI Boom Is Turning Into The Energy Trade of the Century

You might think that Shark Tank’s “Mr. Wonderful,” Kevin O’Leary, is betting it all on AI, but he is not. He is betting on the $5+ trillion in infrastructure required to run it, and that’s where big capital is flowing now. And he’s betting on Bitzero (NASDAQ: AIBZ) to be one of the first to break AI’s biggest chokepoint: power. Bitzero was looking further ahead while most of the rest of the market was narrowly focused on AI software and semiconductors. As a result, on May 5th, Bitzero…

Oil Markets Are Pricing A Supply Surge That Isn’t Guaranteed

Crude oil prices are in freefall after the United States and Iran agreed on a ceasefire, set to last 60 days. Traders expect the ceasefire to unleash an avalanche of crude, and indeed, tankers are leaving the Persian Gulf in growing numbers. And yet Iran just struck a commercial ship in Hormuz. Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the ceasefire prompted huge discounts in available crude cargoes, noting how Angolan crude was selling at a $10 discount to dated Brent—for the first time in a decade. Not only this, but Chinese refiners were…

The World's Biggest Energy Bet Is No Longer on Fossil Fuels

For years, critics of the energy transition have made essentially the same argument. Renewable energy was supposedly too expensive, too dependent on subsidies, too intermittent, and too vulnerable to survive a serious energy security crisis. Sooner or later, they argued, governments and investors would return to the comfort of oil, gas, and coal. The latest figures from the International Energy Agency suggest the opposite is happening. According to the IEA's newly released World Energy Investment 2026 report, global investment in clean energy has…

The World Is Racing to Develop New Nuclear Fuels

In the age of the nuclear renaissance, several countries are strategising to significantly increase their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades, as part of efforts to diversify their energy mix and boost long-term energy security. However, securing fuel to power operations has been complicated, particularly following the introduction of sanctions on Russian energy products. Now, alternative uranium fuels offer promise for the nuclear energy industry. Nuclear fission, used in all existing nuclear power plants, is the process in which an…

China Eyes a Major Opportunity in Post-War Iran

Beijing is positioning itself to lead the post-war reconstruction effort in Tehran - a move analysts suggest could secure China long-term access to critical Iranian oil reserves. The diplomatic groundwork was laid during a recent meeting in New Delhi between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and the deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, according to Nikkei Asia. The talks underscore China's broader strategy to expand its economic and diplomatic footprint in the Middle East amid the vacuum left in the wake of one failed US…
