The 2005 Energy Policy Act established a production tax credit (PTC) of 1.8 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity produced during the first eight years of operation by advanced nuclear power facilities. The tax credit is available for up to 6,000 megawatts (MW) of advanced nuclear generating capacity nationwide on a first-come-first-serve basis. The credit was extended in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, H.R. 1892.
