No Solar Panels on Fertile Farmland Act of 2025

This bill seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to prevent renewable energy projects from receiving federal tax credits if they are located on prime farmland . Prime farmland is defined as land determined by the Secretary of Agriculture to be prime farmland within the meaning of part 657.5 of title 7, Code of Federal Regulations. The legislation aims to preserve fertile agricultural land by removing financial incentives for its conversion to renewable energy facilities. Specifically, the bill excludes property and facilities on prime farmland from eligibility for the residential clean energy credit , the renewable electricity production credit , and the general energy credit . It further extends this exclusion to the clean electricity investment credit and the clean electricity production credit . These amendments apply to property and facilities placed in service or construction begun after the date of the act's enactment, effectively discouraging the development of renewable energy infrastructure on valuable agricultural land.
