DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Credit for Renewable Electricity
Production and Refined Coal
Production, Publication of Inflation
Adjustment Factor and Reference
Prices for Calendar Year 2006
Internal Revenue Service (IRS),
Treasury.
ACTION: Publication of inflation
adjustment factor and reference prices
for calendar year 2006 as required by
section 45(e)(2)(A) (26 U.S.C.
45(e)(2)(A)) and section 45(e)(8)(C) (26
U.S.C. 45(e)(8)(C)).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The 2006 inflation adjustment
factor and reference prices are used in
determining the availability of the credit
for renewable electricity production and
refined coal production under section
45.
DATES: The 2006 inflation adjustment
factor and reference prices apply to
calendar year 2006 sales of kilowatt
hours of electricity produced in the
United States or a possession thereof
from qualified energy resources, and to
2006 sales of refined coal produced in
the United States or a possession
thereof.
Inflation Adjustment Factor: The
inflation adjustment factor for calendar
year 2006 is 1.2981.
Reference Prices: The reference price
for calendar year 2006 for facilities
producing electricity from wind is 2.89
cents per kilowatt hour. The reference
prices for fuel used as feedstock within
the meaning of section 45(c)(7)(A)
(relating to refined coal production) are
$31.90 per ton for calendar year 2002
and $42.78 per ton for calendar year
2006. The reference prices for facilities
producing electricity from closed-loop
biomass, open-loop biomass, geothermal
energy, solar energy, small irrigation
power, municipal solid waste, and
qualified hydropower production have
not been determined for calendar year
2006. The IRS is exploring methods of
determining those reference prices for
calendar year 2007.
Because the 2006 reference price for
electricity produced from wind does not
exceed 8 cents multiplied by the
inflation adjustment factor, the phaseout
of the credit provided in section 45(b)(1)
does not apply to such electricity sold
during calendar year 2006. Because the
2006 reference price of fuel used as
feedstock for refined coal does not
exceed the $31.90 reference price of
such fuel in 2002 multiplied by the
inflation adjustment factor and 1.7, the
phaseout of credit provided in section
