The inflation adjustment factor for calendar year 2020 for Indian coal is 1.2851. Reference Prices: The reference price for calendar year 2020 for facilities producing electricity from wind is 4.16 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 $48.58 per ton for calendar year 2020. The reference prices for facilities producing electricity from closed-loop biomass, open-loop biomass, geothermal energy, municipal solid waste, qualified hydropower production, and marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy have not been determined for calendar year 2020. Phaseout Calculation: Because the 2020 reference price for electricity produced from wind (4.16 cents per kilowatt hour) does not exceed 8 cents multiplied by the inflation adjustment factor (1.6687), the phaseout of the credit provided in section 45(b)(1) does not apply to such electricity sold during calendar year 2020. Because the 2020 reference price of fuel used as feedstock for refined coal ($48.58) does not exceed $90.49 (which is the $31.90 reference price of such fuel in 2002 multiplied by the inflation adjustment factor (1.6687) and 1.7), the phaseout of the credit provided in section 45(e)(8)(B) does not apply to refined coal sold during calendar year 2020. Further, for electricity produced from closed-loop biomass, open-loop biomass, geothermal energy, municipal solid waste, qualified hydropower production, and marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy, the phaseout of the credit provided in section 45(b)(1) does not apply to such electricity sold during calendar year 2020.</div>
