Gov. Terry Branstad on Friday signed into law HF 645,
a bill that increases Iowa’s solar energy tax credits and adds production tax
credits for utility solar projects.
“Solar works for Iowa,” said Senator Rob Hogg (D-Cedar
Rapids) who floor managed the bill in the Iowa Senate, where it passed with
unanimous bipartisan support. “This legislation will accelerate the growth of
the solar energy industry in Iowa. That’s good for the environment and our
economy. Solar energy is already working for thousands of businesses, farmers
and homeowners across our state.”
