The federal production tax credit (PTC) has moved wind toward a level playing field alongside the federally supported incentives for conventional energy. Some states also have tax policies that can either attract or discourage wind development. Special property tax treatment to encourage economic development has been beneficial to wind development in some states. Tax rules applicable to property, generation or sales of equipment can make the difference to a wind developer considering one state over another. Please refer to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency for the current map of tax credits for renewables. AWEA members can also access the State Property Tax Database through the AWEA Member Center for a state by state analysis of property tax profiles for commercial wind power projects.
