US Renewable Energy Policy Framework
- The US government has provided generous support to the renewable energy industry over the past 10 years, owing to the country’s need for stability and independence in its energy policy, and has prepared a supportive regulatory framework and provided financial backing. The Section 203 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 established the renewable electricity requirement which mandates that the federal government must consume at least 7.5% of its total electricity from renewable sources.
- The US has in place renewable energy incentive programs both at the federal and state level with different states providing various kinds and degrees of support for different renewable energy technologies. The federal government drafts the policy framework, and state government designs and implements policy details for renewable energy in its state.
- In August 2022, the US government enacted ‘The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022’ (IRA). It is a follow-up attempt after the ‘Build Back Better Act’ failed to achieve legislative support. Several of the renewable energy provision in the IRA are similar yet more enhanced than the Build Back Better Act. The IRA is a much-required boost to the renewable power industry. It provides significant federal investment in renewable power and related technologies and provides extension of tax credits and incentives.
- In June 2021, a bill was introduced termed Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act which aims to provide tax credit to domestic solar PV manufacturers. The bill was passed in August 2022. The incentive is expected to be available till 2028 after which it will be phased down after two years.
