Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign‑Controlled Energy Sources

The executive order “Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign-Controlled Energy Sources” marks a significant policy shift in the federal government’s approach to renewable energy incentives. Framed as a national security and economic reliability measure, the order directs federal agencies, in particular the Department of the Treasury, to take immediate steps to phase out tax credits for wind and solar energy projects, particularly those that rely on foreign supply chains or are deemed “expensive and unreliable” for grid stability.
 

At the heart of the order is a directive to terminate the clean electricity production and investment tax credits under Sections 45Y and 48E of the Internal Revenue Code. These credits have been central to the growth of the renewable energy sector in the United States. The order specifically targets the “5% safe harbor” provision, which is a long-standing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guideline recently reaffirmed in IRS Notice 2021-41 — that a project is deemed to have “begun construction” if it has incurred 5% of total project costs — and has been widely used by solar and wind developers to “lock in” eligibility for tax credits even before construction begins in earnest.
 

The 5% safe harbor was designed to provide flexibility and certainty in project planning. For example, a solar developer could purchase panels or sign engineering contracts that amount to 5% of the total project cost, and thereby establish that the project had “begun construction” for tax purposes. This allowed developers to secure financing and move forward with confidence, even if the physical build-out would not occur for months or years. The safe harbor also played a critical role in attracting tax equity investors, who rely on predictable credit eligibility to structure financing deals.
 

However, the order casts doubt on the continued viability of this approach. Section 3 instructs the Treasury Secretary to issue new or revised guidance by August 18, 2025, that would restrict the use of broad safe harbors unless a “substantial portion” of the facility has been physically constructed. This language suggests a move away from cost-incurrence as a proxy for construction activity, and toward a more stringent, progress-based standard. In effect, the order could invalidate the IRS’s most recent guidance on the 5% safe harbor, creating significant uncertainty for projects that have not yet broken ground — and for those that have.
 

The implications of this policy shift are far-reaching. Solar and wind developers are likely to be the most directly affected, especially those in the early stages of project development who were relying on the 5% rule to preserve tax credit eligibility. Commercial real estate owners, such as malls, shopping centers, grocers, and warehouses operators who have invested in rooftop solar installations, may also face higher capital costs and longer payback periods. Tax equity investors could see increased regulatory risk, potentially reducing their appetite for renewable energy deals or demanding higher returns. Additionally, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors and supply chain vendors, particularly those sourcing components from foreign manufacturers, may experience a slowdown in demand.
 

In the short term, developers may need to accelerate construction timelines, restructure financing, or even reassess project viability. In the longer term, the order could lead to a broader reallocation of capital away from renewables and a return to fossil fuels or nuclear projects, likely slowing the pace of decarbonization and complicating state-level clean energy mandates.

Establishing the President’s Make America Beautiful Again Commission

The executive order establishes the Make America Beautiful Again (MABA) Commission to promote conservation, expand access to public lands and waters, and streamline environmental regulations.
