    FAQs about What are the tax incentives for pumped hydro storage

    Are hydropower projects eligible for a production tax credit?

    Under the tax credit that expired last year, capacity upgrades at existing hydropower facilities, retrofits of non-powered dams with hydropower generation, and new marine energy projects with a capacity of greater than 150 kilowatts (kWs) were eligible for a production tax credit that is half the PTC rate available for wind.

    How does pumped storage hydro work?

    These technologies work like giant batteries by storing renewable energy and releasing it onto the grid and into homes when needed. This includes pumped storage hydro, which stores electricity by pumping water up a reservoir, to be released later.

    How much credit is available for energy and storage technologies?

    6% credit + additional credit of 24% if labor standards are met* for specific energy and storage technologies. Available for projects beginning construction before 2025. 6% credit + additional 24% if labor standards are met* for zero- or negative-emitting technologies and energy storage technologies.

    Will the IRA be covered by the National Hydropower Association?
