The Treasury Department issued guidance that narrows which wind and solar energy projects can receive the remaining tax credits that were largely eliminated under the Republicans' "big, beautiful bill." The legislation passed by Republicans last month axes the credits for projects that don't begin producing electricity by 2028. However, it contains an exemption for projects that begin construction over the next year. Under the law, those projects would remain eligible for the subsidies even if they don't produce electricity within the specified time frame.

Resumes should be submitted to jobs@investatlanta.com.
