"Pandemic: Renewable Energy Supporters Running Out Of Patience"

"The Trump administration offered renewable energy companies a hand this week, but with thousands out of work across the sector, the industry and its advocates are keeping the pressure on Congress.

In new guidance issued Wednesday, the IRS extended safe harbor requirements for the investment and production tax credits by a year, allowing developers facing pandemic-related delays to more easily claim the incentives (Energywire, May 28).

It was a welcome change for the renewable energy industry, which had been pushing for months for a deadline extension.

But with roughly 600,000 out of work across the clean energy sector, lobbyists and advocates said their fight isn't over, and some are disappointed that House Democrats have largely put the issue aside in COVID-19 relief efforts."
