Oregon Scrambles to Save Green Projects as Trump’s Tax Credit Axe Falls

In Washington D.C., a dramatic policy U-turn has thrown the U.S. renewable energy industry into a race against time. In mid-2025, President Donald Trump signed a sweeping measure – informally known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act – that ends or shrinks federal tax credits for clean energy much sooner than expected propublica.org. This law set hard end-dates for the generous incentives that wind and solar developers rely on. Under the Act, projects can still qualify for the Investment Tax Credit or Production Tax Credit if they break ground by July 4, 2026 and finish construction by 2030 propublica.org. Any project that hasn’t started by that mid-2026 deadline must be fully operational by December 31, 2027 to get even a partial credit propublica.org.
