US-based PV project developers are rushing to secure federal tax credits before the July 4 deadline. They have preserved eligibility for projects large enough to nearly double current national PV capacity. The tax credits are worth at least 30% of project costs, while their phaseout could raise electricity prices. LevelTen Energy said wind and solar contract prices could rise 40% to 50%, with Texas deals up 120%. Wood Mackenzie said the looming tax-credit loss has created a pipeline of more than 200 GW of solar capacity. Developers are safe harboring through site work, equipment purchases, worker hours, or partial project spending. Federal rules provide a four-year completion window, although many facilities are still seeking power buyers. Energy Innovation expects the backlog to sustain US installations through the end of the decade before utility-scale capacity contracts in the early 2030s.
