Under current law, taxpayers producing electricity at advanced nuclear facilities approved after 1993 and placed into service before January 1, 2021, can receive a tax credit for an eight-year period that is based on the amount of electricity they produce, subject to certain facility-specific and nationwide limits on electricity capacity. The bill would allow entities that have reached their facility-specific limits, and have additional capacity above those limits, to receive an allocation from the unused nationwide limitation amount, thus allowing them to receive additional tax credits. The nationwide limits on qualifying electricity production would not change. The bill would also allow the additional allocation to apply to advanced facilities placed into service after December 31, 2020. Finally, H.R. 5879 would allow certain non-profit or governmental entities to transfer a portion or all of their credits to taxable project partners. The treatment of unutilized limitation amounts would be effective upon date of enactment, and the allowed credit transfers would be effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2016. The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that the legislation would reduce revenues by about $14 million over the 2016-2026 period. The Statutory Pay-As-You Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement procedures for legislation affecting revenues and direct spending. The net changes in revenues that are subject to those pay-as-you-go procedures are shown in the following table. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending.
