Instructions for Form 8835  
Renewable Electricity Production Credit  
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code  
unless otherwise noted.  
Extended and modified the existing production credit for  
applicable renewable energy. Form 8835 will be used by  
filers to claim the section 45 credit for existing and new  
facilities.  
Future Developments  
Solar energy facilities placed in service after 2021 are  
For the latest information about developments related to  
Form 8835 and its instructions, such as legislation  
enacted after they were published, go to IRS.gov/  
reinstated as eligible for the credit.  
Facilities satisfying the Prevailing Wage and  
requirements are eligible to increase the credit.  
What’s New  
Expired credits. The credit period for refined coal  
produced at a refined coal production facility and Indian  
coal produced at an Indian coal production facility expired  
after 2021. Accordingly, the title of Form 8835 has been  
changed to “Renewable Electricity Production Credit.”  
Credit amounts. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022  
(IRA 2022) changed the manner in which section 45 credit  
amounts are calculated on the sale of electricity produced  
in any qualified facility placed in service after December  
31, 2021. For more information, see Notice 2023-51,  
General Instructions  
Credit reduced for tax-exempt bonds. Section 45(b)(3)  
modifies the credit rate reduction for grants, subsidized  
energy financing, and other credits, and changes the  
later.  
Clean hydrogen production credit. This credit has  
been removed from this form and will now be claimed on  
Form 7210, Clean Hydrogen Production Credit. See the  
Instructions for Form 7210 for more information.  
Purpose of Form  
Use a separate Form 8835 to claim the credit for electricity  
that you produced from certain renewable resources at  
each qualified facility. Complete Part I to report facility  
information. Complete Part II to calculate the credit. The  
credit is allowed only for the sale of electricity produced in  
the United States or U.S. territories from qualified energy  
resources at a qualified facility.  
Facility information. Form 8835 and its instructions  
were changed to require separate information and  
computation of the renewable electricity production credit  
for each facility. See Facility Information, later.  
Taxpayers, applicable entities, partnerships, and S  
corporations must file a separate form for each qualified  
facility that is used in your trade or business to claim the  
credit. All others are generally not required to complete or  
file this form if their only source for this credit is from a  
partnership, S corporation, estate, trust, or cooperative.  
Instead, they can report their share of the credit directly on  
Form 3800, General Business Credit. The following  
exceptions apply.  
Offshore wind facility. The electricity produced at a  
qualified offshore wind facility will be claimed on line 1e.  
Tax-exempt and governmental entities. For tax years  
beginning after 2022, applicable entities (such as certain  
tax-exempt and governmental entities) can elect to treat  
the renewable electricity production credit as a payment of  
income tax. See Applicable entities, later.  
Credit transfers. For tax years beginning after 2022,  
eligible taxpayers, partnerships, and S corporations can  
elect to transfer all or part of the credit amount otherwise  
allowed as a general business credit to an unrelated  
third-party buyer in exchange for cash. Eligible taxpayers  
don't include applicable entities. See Credit transfers,  
later.  
Pre-filing registration. The IRS has established a  
pre-filing registration process that must be completed prior  
to electing payment or transfer of the renewable electricity  
You are an estate or trust and the source credit can be  
allocated to beneficiaries. For more details, see the  
instructions for Form 1041, Schedule K-1, box 13, code J.  
You are a cooperative and the source credit can or must  
be allocated to patrons. For more details, see the  
instructions for Form 1120-C, Schedule J, line 5c.  
Election To Treat a Qualified Facility as Energy  
Property  
Section 48(a)(5) provides an irrevocable election to treat  
qualified property (described in section 48(a)(5)(D)) that is  
part of a qualified investment credit facility (described in  
section 48(a)(5)(C)) as energy property eligible for the  
investment credit (reported on Form 3468, Investment  
Credit, Part VI) instead of a production credit reportable  
on this form. This election applies to a facility:

Coordination With Department of Treasury  
Grants  
If a grant is paid under the American Recovery and  
Reinvestment Act of 2009, section 1603 grant, for placing  
into service specified energy property (described in  
section 1603(d)), no production credit under section 45, or  
investment credit under section 48, is allowed for the  
property for the tax year in which the grant is made or any  
subsequent tax year. See section 48(d) for more  
information.  
Qualified facilities placed in service after 2022.  
From qualified energy resources of qualified hydropower  
and marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy, 0.55 cents  
per kWh.  
Applicable entities. For tax years beginning after 2022,  
applicable entities (as defined under section 6417(d)(1)  
(A)) that generally don't benefit from income tax credits  
can elect to treat the renewable electricity production  
credit for a facility originally placed in service after  
December 31, 2022, as a payment of income tax.  
Resulting overpayments may result in refunds.  
You may not partition the basis of property for which a  
section 1603 grant was received and claim a production  
credit under section 45 or investment credit under section  
48 for any part of the basis of that property. However, you  
must reduce the basis of the specified energy property by  
50% of the amount of the actual section 1603 grant.  
You may have to refigure the investment credit and  
recapture all or a portion of it if a section 1603 grant was  
made for section 48 property for which a credit was  
allowed for progress expenditures before the grant was  
made. Recapture is applicable to those amounts  
previously included in the qualified basis for an energy  
credit, including progress expenditures, that are also the  
basis for the section 1603 grant.  
Applicable entities making the elective payment  
election for the renewable electricity production credit  
must file the following:  
Form 8835 and any applicable attachments,  
Form 3800, General Business Credit, and  
Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax  
Return, or other applicable income tax return.  
For a discussion of what is an applicable entity, see  
Applicable entity making an elective payment election on  
IRA 2022 credits in the Instructions for Form 3800. For  
more information on elective payment elections under  
section 6417, see Elective Payment of Certain Business  
Credits Under Section 6417 or Section 48D in the  
Instructions for Form 3800.  
Your election to treat the credit as a payment generally  
applies to 2023 and any subsequent year during the  
10-year period described in section 45(a)(2)(A)(ii) for such  
facility. You must obtain an IRS-issued registration number  
for the facility in 2023 and each of the succeeding years.  
Credit transfers. For tax years beginning after 2022,  
under section 6418, eligible taxpayers, partnerships, and  
S corporations can elect to transfer all or a part of the  
credit figured in Part II to an unrelated third-party buyer in  
exchange for cash. For more information on credit  
transfers, see Transfer of Eligible Credits Under Section  
6418 in the Instructions for Form 3800.  
Pre-filing registration requirement for payments or  
transfers. Before you file your tax return, if you intend to  
make an elective payment election or transfer election on  
Form 3800 for the credit figured in Part II, you must  
complete a pre-filing registration for each facility. To  
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and CHIPS Act of 2022  
(CHIPS) Pre-filing Registration Tool, for more information.  
Also see Registering for and Making Elective Payment  
and Transfer Elections in the Instructions for Form 3800.  
How To Figure the Credit  
Generally, the credit for electricity produced from qualified  
energy resources at a qualified facility during the 10-year  
period beginning on the date the facility was originally  
placed in service, and sold by you to an unrelated person  
during the tax year (see Definitions, later), is:  
0.3 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for a qualified facility  
placed in service after 2021, or  
1.5 cents per kWh for a qualified facility placed in  
service before 2022.  
The credit for electricity produced is proportionately  
phased out over a 3-cent range when the reference price  
exceeds the 8-cent threshold price. The 0.3 or 1.5 cent  
credit rate and the 8-cent threshold price are adjusted for  
inflation. The reference price and the inflation adjustment  
factor (IAF) for each calendar year are published during  
the year in the Federal Register. If the reference price is  
equal to or less than the threshold price (adjusted by the  
IAF), there is no reduction. For electricity produced, if the  
reference price is 3 cents or more over the adjusted  
threshold price, there is no credit; if the reference price is  
more than the threshold price, but less than 3 cents over  
the adjusted threshold price, there is a phaseout  
adjustment on line 3 (Part II). For more information, see  
Federal Register 2023-13191.  
Credit rates. For calendar year 2023, the effective credit  
rate for electricity produced and sold is:  
Qualified facilities placed in service before 2022.

Definitions  
Construction of a Qualified Facility  
Qualified Facilities  
Two methods can be used to establish that construction of  
a qualified facility has begun.  
1. Physical Work Test is satisfied when physical work  
of a significant nature begins and other requirements are  
met.  
2. Five Percent Safe Harbor is satisfied when a  
taxpayer pays or incurs (within the meaning of Regulations  
sections 1.461-1(a)(1) and (2)) 5% or more of the total  
cost of the facility and meets certain other requirements.  
Note. IRA 2022 generally provides that the amendments  
to section 45 apply to facilities placed in service after  
2021. See section 13101(k) of P.L. 117-169.  
A qualified facility is any of the following facilities owned  
by you and used to produce electricity.  
Wind facility originally placed in service after 1993, the  
construction of which begins before 2025. This doesn't  
include any facility for which any qualified small wind  
energy property expenditure (as defined in section 25D(d)  
(4)) is used in determining the residential clean energy  
credit.  
In establishing the beginning of construction under  
either method, taxpayers must demonstrate either  
continuous construction or continuous efforts towards  
placing the facility in service. A taxpayer that places a  
qualified facility in service no more than 4 calendar years  
after the calendar year during which construction of the  
qualified facility began will be deemed to have satisfied  
this requirement. See Notice 2016-31 for more details.  
Closed-loop biomass facility originally placed in service  
after 1992, the construction of which begins before 2025.  
Closed-loop biomass facility modified to co-fire with  
coal or other biomass (or both), owned by the taxpayer  
and originally placed in service before 2025. The  
modification must be approved under the Biomass Power  
for Rural Development Programs or be part of a pilot  
project of the Commodity Credit Corporation as described  
in 65 Fed. Reg. 63052. The facility will be treated as  
modified before 2025, if the construction of the  
modification begins before 2025.  
Certain facilities may qualify for a longer period in which  
they must be placed in service due to significant national  
security concerns, developmental delays caused by the  
COVID-19 pandemic, or Offshore and Federal Land  
2021-05, and Notice 2021-41 for more details.

Credit Reduced for Tax-Exempt Bonds  
components: a labor-hours requirement, a ratio  
The credit rate reduction for grants, subsidized energy  
financing, and other credits was modified. As a result, the  
credit is reduced by an amount which is the product of the  
credit amount otherwise determined for the tax year and  
the lesser of 15% or a fraction. The numerator of the  
fraction is the sum, for the tax year and all prior tax years,  
of proceeds of an issue of any obligations the interest on  
which is exempt from tax under section 103 and that is  
used to provide financing for the qualified facility. The  
denominator of the fraction is the aggregate amount of  
additions to the capital account for the qualified facility for  
the tax year and all prior tax years as of the close of the  
tax year.

The taxpayer must ensure that, depending on when  
construction began, 12.5% or 15% of the total labor-hours  
performed in the construction, alteration, or repair of the  
facility are performed by qualified apprentices from a  
registered apprenticeship program.  
The taxpayer must ensure that the applicable ratio of  
apprentices to journeyworkers established by the  
registered apprenticeship program are met for apprentices  
working on the facility each day.  
Any taxpayer (or contractor or subcontractor) that  
employs 4 or more laborers or mechanics in the

Cooperative election to allocate credit to patrons. A  
cooperative described in section 1381(a) that is more than  
50% owned by agricultural producers or by entities owned  
by agricultural producers can elect to allocate any part of  
the credit among the patrons of the cooperative. The  
credit is allocated among the patrons eligible to share in  
patronage dividends on the basis of the quantity or value  
of business done with or for such patrons for the tax year.  
If the cooperative is subject to the passive activity rules,  
include on line 14 any renewable electricity, refined coal,  
and Indian coal production credit from passive activities  
disallowed for prior years and carried forward to this year.  
Complete Form 8810, Corporate Passive Activity Loss  
and Credit Limitations, to determine the allowed credits  
that can be allocated to patrons. For details, see the  
Instructions for Form 8810.  
The cooperative is deemed to have made the election  
by completing line 16, as applicable. However, the  
election isn't effective unless (a) made on a timely filed  
return (including extensions), and (b) the organization  
designates the apportionment in a written notice mailed to  
its patrons during the payment period described in section  
1382(d) or on Form 1099-PATR.  
If you timely file your return without making an election,  
you can still make the election by filing an amended return  
within 6 months of the due date of the return (excluding  
extensions). Enter “Filed pursuant to section 301.9100-2”  
on the amended return.  
Exception to elective payment phaseout. For  
facilities whose construction began during calendar year  
2024, Notice 2024-09 provides transitional procedures to  
claim the statutory exceptions to the elective payment  
phaseout related to the domestic content requirement.  
To substantiate your claim of exception to the elective  
payment phaseout, you must complete and attach a  
statement to Form 8835. The statement must say, under  
penalties of perjury, that you have reviewed the  
requirements for the increased cost exception and the  
non-availability exception under section 45(b)(10)(D), and  
have made a good faith determination that the qualified  
facility meets the requirements for the increased cost  
exception and/or the non-availability exception, as  
applicable. The statement must be signed by a person  
with the legal authority to bind the applicable entity in  
federal tax matters. For more information, see Notice  
2024-09.
