The passage of the One, Big Beautiful Bill Act (OB3) has had a major impact on energy-efficient tax incentives for commercial real estate. In this session we’ll explore four different incentives, delving into how the thoughtful taxpayer can still leverage benefit despite impending sunset dates. A focus on timely, proactive strategy will be emphasized throughout.

We’ll begin with the 179D Deduction, and review current standards, calculation procedures, and documentation. We’ll also consider the deduction allocation process used to transfer the deduction to a design professional where appropriate.

Next, we’ll touch on the 45L Credit, focusing on the major procedural changes required to successfully claim the incentive before the OB3 sunset date. Then we’ll consider the major changes the OB3 brings to the Clean Electricity Investment Credit (CEIC), affecting renewable solar and wind systems. Finally, we’ll explore the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (30C) under the OB3.
