Trump directs Treasury Department to limit wind and solar tax credits

President Trump directed the Treasury Department on Monday to take a strict approach to limit which projects are eligible for wind and solar tax credits.

The recently passed Republican megabill ends the tax credits for wind and solar projects unless solar or wind farms start producing electricity by 2028 — or unless they start construction in the next year.

Trump’s executive order tells his administration to limit which projects can count as having started construction.
