Q: What are APPA's Government Relations Team's priorities in light of the new law?

Impact of New Law on Public Power, Key Tax Credit-Related Deadlines Detailed by APPA’s John Godfrey
Q: What resources does APPA offer to help members navigate the new law?

Impact of New Law on Public Power, Key Tax Credit-Related Deadlines Detailed by APPA’s John Godfrey
Q: Can you offer additional details on those deadlines for tax credit-related provisions?
Key deadlines include August guidance on the definition of beginning of construction, October through December milestone dates for purchasing credits, and various dates like December 31, 2025 or January 15, 2026 for specific rules; projects must begin construction by certain dates to avoid stricter rules, and domestic content requirements must be met starting January 1, 2026 to retain credits.
Impact of New Law on Public Power, Key Tax Credit-Related Deadlines Detailed by APPA’s John Godfrey
Q: Could you provide an overview of the new law and how it will impact public power?
The bill is very large and touches many policy areas, but the core interest for public power is in energy tax credits, where it accelerates repeal timelines for some credits and introduces foreign-entity concerns. There are new deadlines around beginning of construction, domestic content requirements, and a shift to elective pay, all of which affect how projects qualify for credits, with specific timelines for wind/solar versus nuclear and other technologies.
KYMEA President and CEO Doug Buresh Details Power Supply Portfolio Strategies
Q: Doug, just to get our conversation started, could you provide an overview of KyMEA?
