Congressional Deal Extends Renewable Energy Incentives, Avoids Fiscal Cliff

The U.S. Congress has voted to approve tax legislation that would, among other measures, extend certain incentives affecting the solar sector and other industries. The deal also allows the U.S. to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, which would have put in place sequestration measures. The legislation extends 50% bonus depreciation through the end of 2013 and postpones for two months the sequestration that would have gone into effect if a deal had not been reached in time.Â
