This legislation brings California’s tax code into alignment with the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), unlocking access to time-sensitive federal tax benefits for renewable and energy storage projects across the state. By conforming state tax treatment with key IRA provisions—specifically by excluding clean energy credits from state taxable income—SB 302 removes critical barriers that previously limited project developers and investors from fully capitalizing on available federal incentives. This change is expected to accelerate clean energy deployment, improve project financing, and strengthen California’s leadership in decarbonization and grid resilience.
