flag U.S. Treasury issues rules blocking clean energy tax credits for projects using Chinese-made equipment, effective immediately.

flag The U.S. Treasury released interim rules on February 12, 2026, enforcing restrictions under President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act that block clean energy tax credits for projects using Chinese-made equipment or influenced by Chinese firms. flag The rules expand earlier vehicle-related limits to cover solar, wind, batteries, and other technologies, requiring domestic sourcing to qualify. flag They include methods to assess foreign material involvement and allow IRS audits up to six years post-completion. flag The guidance, effective until final rules are issued, aims to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains and boost domestic manufacturing, with a 45-day public comment period open. flag Industry leaders welcomed the clarity, which had delayed investments, while Chinese solar stocks fell amid market concerns.
