Tuesday, April 10th, 2012NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY LABORATORY
Historically, federal incentives for renewable energy development in the United States largely consisted of the investment and production tax credits (ITC and PTC) and the accelerated depreciation benefit for renewable energy property [the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) and the bonus depreciation].
