Under present law, alternative energy projects are eligible for a 10% investment credit and 5 year depreciation. Other projects are depreciated over longer periods up to 18 years, also on an accelerated schedule. Many projects also qualify for an additional energy tax credit. The Treasury proposal would eliminate tax credits and substantially modify the depreciation for cogeneration and other alternative energy projects. The investment tax credit would be repealed for projects placed in service after January 1, 1986. The energy tax credit would be allowed to expire under its present terms at the end of this year.
