Abstract: This notice supersedes Notice 2009-72 and establishes the qualifying advanced energy project program ("advanced energy program") under § 48C(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and announces an initial allocation round of the qualifying advanced energy project credit ("advanced energy credit") to qualifying advanced energy projects under the advanced energy program. A qualifying advanced energy project re-equips, expands, or establishes a manufacturing facility for the production of certain energy related property. A taxpayer must submit, for each qualifying advanced energy project: (1) an application for certification by the DOE ("application for DOE certification"), and (2) an application for certification under § 48C(d)(2) by the Service ("application for § 48C certification"). Both applications may be submitted only during the 2-year period beginning on August 14, 2009. Certification will be issued and credits will be allocated to projects in annual allocation rounds. The initial allocation round was conducted in 2009-10, and if necessary, additional allocation rounds in 2010-11.
