Form7211.
What’s New
Energy communities. P.L. 119-21, commonly known as
the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, modified section 45 to
expand the definition of “energy community” to include a
qualified facility that is an advanced nuclear facility. This
only applies for tax years beginning after July 4, 2025.
See section 45(b)(11)(B)(iv) and (C) and Increased Credit
in Energy Communities, later.
Prohibited foreign entities. No clean energy electricity
production credit is allowed for any tax year beginning
after July 4, 2025, if the taxpayer is a specified foreign
entity as defined in section 7701(a)(51)(B). Additionally,
no clean electricity production credit is allowed for any tax
year beginning after July 4, 2025, if section 7701(a)(51)
(D)(i)(II) applies with respect to a qualified facility. No
clean electricity production is allowed for any tax year
beginning after July 4, 2025, if the taxpayer is a
foreign-influenced entity as defined in section 7701(a)(51)
(D), without regard to the requirements under section
7701(a)(51)(D)(II).
Material assistance from prohibited foreign entities.
Qualified facilities that begin construction after 2025 are
not eligible for the credit if they include any material
assistance from a prohibited foreign entity (as defined in
section 7701(a)(52)). See Definitions, later.
Beginning of construction requirements for wind and
solar facilities. The “beginning of construction”
requirements for applicable wind and solar facilities have
been modified by Notice 2025-42. See Beginning of
Construction Requirements for Applicable Wind and Solar
Facilities, later.
Denial of credit for wind and solar leasing arrangements. For tax years beginning after July 4, 2025, no
credit will be allowed for property described in section
25D(d)(1) or (4) if the taxpayer rents or leases such
property to a third party during the tax year.
Form 7220. If you’re claiming the credit and you qualify
for an increased credit amount for meeting the prevailing
wage and apprenticeship requirements, you must file
Form 7220, Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship (PWA)
Verification and Corrections, for each qualified facility. See
Form 7220 and its instructions for more information.
Jan 5, 2026
Reminders
Tax-exempt and governmental entities. Applicable
entities (such as certain tax-exempt and governmental
entities) can elect to treat the clean electricity production
credit as a payment of income tax. See Applicable
entities, later.
Credit transfers. 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 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 clean electricity
production credit. See Pre-filing registration requirement
for payments or transfers, later.
General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Form 7211 to claim the clean electricity production
credit that you produced at each qualified facility.
Complete Part I to report the information on the qualified
facility. The credit is allowed for electricity produced in the
United States or U.S. territories at a qualified facility and
sold by the taxpayer to an unrelated person during the tax
year or, in the case of a qualified facility that is equipped
with a metering device that is owned and operated by an
unrelated person, sold, consumed, or stored by the
taxpayer during the tax year. Complete Part II to calculate
the credit.
Taxpayers, applicable entities, partnerships, S
corporations, estates, or trusts that own and operate a
qualified facility must file a separate Form 7211 for each
qualified facility to claim the credit. All others are generally
not required to complete or file this form if their only
source for any section 45Y clean electricity production
credit is a partnership, S corporation, estate, trust, or
cooperative. Instead, they can report this credit directly on
Form 3800, General Business Credit. The following
exceptions apply.
• You are a(n) estate or trust and the source of the credit
can be allocated to beneficiaries. For more details, see the
instructions for Form 1041, Schedule K-1, box 13, code E.
• 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.

Which Revision To Use
How To Claim the Credit
which is approved in the manner described in section
45J(d)(2) if the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has
authorized construction and issued a site-specific
construction permit or combined license with respect to
that facility (without regard to whether the reactor design
was approved after December 31, 1993).
To qualify for the credit, the electricity must be produced at
a qualified facility within either the United States (as
defined in section 638(1)), or a territory of the United
States (as defined in section 638(2)). Additionally, eligible
electricity is electricity that is either (1) sold by the
taxpayer to an unrelated person during the tax year; or (2)
in the case of a qualified facility that is equipped with a
metering device, which is owned and operated by an
unrelated person, sold, consumed, or stored by the
taxpayer during the tax year.
Applicable facility. The term “applicable facility” means
a qualified facility that (a) uses wind to produce electricity
(within the meaning of the term used in section 45(d)(1)),
as determined without regard to any requirement under
the section with respect to the date on which construction
of property begins; or (b) uses solar energy to produce
electricity (within the meaning of the term as used in
section 45(d)(4)), as determined without regard to any
requirement under the section with respect to the date on
which construction of property begins.
Caution: You can’t claim a section 45Y credit for the
same qualified facility for which you are claiming a credit
under section 45, 45J, 45Q, 45U, 48, 48A, or 48E for the
tax year or any prior tax year.
CO2e per kWh. The term “CO2e per kWh” means, with
respect to any greenhouse gas, the equivalent carbon
dioxide (as determined based on global warming
potential) per kWh of electricity produced.
Amount of Credit
Greenhouse gas. The term “greenhouse gas” has the
same meaning given to the term under section 211(o)(1)
(G) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(1)(G)).
Use this December 2025 revision of the instructions for tax
years beginning in 2025 or later, until a later revision is
issued. All revisions are available at IRS.gov/Form7211.
The clean electricity production credit for any tax year is
an amount equal to the product of kilowatt hours (kWh) of
eligible electricity produced by the taxpayer at a qualified
facility, multiplied by the applicable amount with respect to
the qualified facility.
Applicable Amount
Base amount. For any qualified facility that doesn’t
satisfy the requirements for the alternative amount, the
applicable amount will be 0.3 cents.
Alternative amount. For any qualified facility that (1) has
a maximum net output of less than one megawatt (as
measured in alternating current); (2) the construction of
which began before January 29, 2023; or (3) meets the
prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements, the
applicable amount will be 1.5 cents. See Prevailing Wage
and Apprenticeship Requirements, later.
Inflation adjustment factor. The base amount and the
alternative amount is adjusted by the inflation adjustment
factor for the calendar year in which the sale,
consumption, or storage of the electricity occurs. When
released, the inflation adjustment will be available on
IRS.gov.
If the base amount of 0.3 cents, when multiplied by the
inflation adjustment factor for the calendar year, is not a
multiple of 0.05 cent, the amount must be rounded to the
nearest multiple of 0.05 cent.
If the alternative amount of 1.5 cents, when multiplied
by the inflation factor for the calendar year, is not a
multiple of 0.1 cent, the amount must be rounded to the
nearest multiple of 0.1 cent.
The reference price and the inflation adjustment factor
for each calendar year are published in the Federal
Register (FR). For more information, see 90 FR 41477.
Definitions
Advanced nuclear facility. The term “advanced nuclear
facility” means any nuclear facility the reactor design for
2
Greenhouse gas emissions rate. Generally, the
amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere
by a facility in the production of electricity, expressed as
grams of CO2e per kWh.
Qualified facility. A facility owned by the taxpayer that is
used for the generation of electricity, placed in service
after 2024, and for which the greenhouse gas emissions
rate (as determined under section 45Y(b)(2)) is not
greater than zero. The facility will be treated as a qualified
facility during the 10-year period beginning on the date the
facility was originally placed in service.
A qualified facility will also include either a new unit or
an addition of capacity placed in service after 2024, if the
facility described above (without regard to being placed in
service after 2024) was placed in service before 2024, but
only to the extent of the increased amount of electricity
produced at the facility by reason of such new unit or
addition of capacity.
Material assistance from prohibited foreign
entities. The term “qualified facility” will not include any
facility for which construction begins after 2025, if the
construction of the facility includes any material
assistance from a prohibited foreign entity (as defined in
section 7701(a)(52)).
Qualified carbon dioxide. This is carbon dioxide
captured from an industrial source that:
• Would otherwise be released into the atmosphere as
industrial emission of greenhouse gas,
• Is measured at the source of capture and verified at the
point of disposal or utilization, and
• Is captured and disposed or utilized within the United
States or a territory.
Applicable entities. Applicable entities (as defined
under section 6417(d)(1)(A)) that generally don’t benefit
from income tax credits can elect to treat the clean
electricity production credit for a facility originally placed in
Instructions for Form 7211 (Rev. December 2025)
service after 2024 as a payment of income tax. Resulting
overpayments may result in refunds.
Applicable entities making the elective payment
election for the clean electricity production credit must file:
• Form 7211 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 EPE 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 the year you make the election and any
subsequent year within the 10-year period beginning on
the date that facility was originally placed in service. You
must obtain an IRS-issued registration number for the
facility in the year you make the election and renew the
registration for each succeeding year.
Credit transfers. Under section 6418, eligible taxpayers,
partnerships, and S corporations can elect to transfer all
or part of the credit figured in Part II to an unrelated third
party in exchange for cash. Eligible taxpayers don’t
include applicable entities. 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 clean electricity production credit, you
must complete a pre-filing registration for each qualified
facility. To register, go to IRS.gov/Credits-Deductions/
Register-for-Elective-Payment-or-Transfer-of-Credits. See
Pub. 5884, Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and CHIPS Act of
2022 (CHIPS) Pre-filing Registration Tool, for more
information. Also, see Registering for and Making EPEs
and Transfer Elections in the Instructions for Form 3800.
Process for Filing a Provisional
Emissions Rate (PER) Petition
To file a PER petition with the Secretary, a taxpayer must
submit a PER petition by attaching it to the taxpayer’s
federal income tax return for the first tax year in which the
taxpayer claims the section 45Y credit with respect to the
facility to which the PER petition applies. The PER petition
must contain an emissions value and, if applicable, the
associated letter from the Department of Energy (DOE).
For more information, see TD 10024.
Credit Reduced for Tax-Exempt
Bonds
The credit is reduced by an amount that is the product of
the credit amount otherwise determined for the tax year
and the lesser of 15% or a fraction determined for the tax
year. 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
Instructions for Form 7211 (Rev. December 2025)
qualified facility as of the close of the tax year. 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.
Increased Credit in Energy
Communities
Energy community. In the case of any qualified facility
that is located in an energy community, the amount of the
credit with respect to any electricity produced by the
taxpayer at such facility is increased by 10%. Energy
community means:
1. A brownfield site as defined in subparagraphs (A),
(B), and (D)(ii)(III) of section 101(39) of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9601(39));
2. A metropolitan statistical or non-metropolitan
statistical area that:
a. Has (or, at any time during the period beginning
after 2009, had) 0.17% or greater direct employment or
25% or greater local tax revenues related to the extraction,
processing, transport, or storage of coal, oil, or natural gas
(as determined by the Secretary); and
b. Has an unemployment rate at or above the national
average unemployment rate for the previous year (as
determined by the Secretary);
3. A census tract, or a census tract directly adjoining to
such census tract in which:
a. After 1999, a coal mine has closed; or
b. After 2009, a coal-fired electric generating unit has
been retired; or
4. For tax years beginning after July 4, 2025, for
purposes of any qualified facility that is an advanced
nuclear facility, a metropolitan statistical area that has (or
at any time after 2009, had) 0.17% or greater direct
employment related to the advancement of nuclear power,
including employment related to:
a. An advanced nuclear facility;
b. Advanced nuclear power research and
development;
c. Nuclear fuel cycle research, development, or
production (including mining enrichment, manufacture,
storage, disposal, or recycling of nuclear fuel); and
d. The manufacturing or assembly of components
used in an advanced nuclear facility.
See section 45(b)(11)(C) for the definition of advanced
nuclear facilities.

Domestic Content Bonus Credit
For purposes of establishing the beginning of construction
date, a taxpayer may establish that construction has
begun before July 4, 2026, by satisfying the Physical Work
Test as described in Notice 2025-42. This is generally the
only method that a taxpayer may use for applicable wind
and solar facilities; however, see Notice 2025-42 for more
information for low output solar facilities. The construction
of an applicable wind or solar facility begins when physical
work of a significant nature begins. The test focuses on
the nature of the work performed, not the amount or cost.
Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship
Requirements
Specific Instructions
An additional bonus credit equal to 10% of the amount is
provided for projects that meet a domestic content
requirement. The domestic content bonus requires that
certain steel, iron, and manufactured products used in the
facility be domestically produced. The taxpayer needs to
certify that any steel, iron, or manufactured product that is
a component of the qualified facility (upon completion of
construction) was produced in the United States (as
determined under section 661 of Title 49, CFR).
Prevailing Wage Requirements
To meet the prevailing wage requirements with respect to
any qualified facility, a taxpayer must ensure that any
laborers and mechanics employed by the taxpayer or any
contractor or subcontractor in:
• The construction of such facility, and
• The alteration or repair of such facility (with respect to
any tax year, for any portion of such tax year that is within
the 10-year period beginning on the date the qualified
facility is originally placed in service), are paid wages at
rates not less than the prevailing rates.

line 1gg, and not on Schedule K.
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.
The cooperative is deemed to have made the election
by completing line 12, 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.
Once made, the election can’t be revoked.
Estates and trusts. Allocate the credit on line 11
between the estate or trust and the beneficiaries in the
same proportion as income was allocated and enter the
beneficiaries’ share on line 12.
Line 13
Cooperatives, estates, and trusts. Subtract line 12
from line 11. Report this amount on Form 3800, Part III,
line 1gg.
