1603 Program: Payments for Specified Energy Property in Lieu of Tax Credits
Page Content
The purpose of the 1603 payment is to reimburse eligible applicants for a portion of the cost of installing specified energy property used in a trade or business or for the production of income. A 1603 payment is made after the energy property is placed in service; a 1603 payment is not made prior to or during construction of the energy property.
Deadlines:
1.Eligibility Deadlines: To be eligible, a property must be placed in service in 2009, 2010, or 2011 or placed in service after 2011 but only if construction of the property began during 2009, 2010, or 2011. Properties placed in service after 2011 must be placed in service by the credit termination date (see Guidance, page 5).
2.Application Deadline: An application must be submitted before October 1, 2012.
Types of Applications
1.A Placed in Service application is submitted for an energy property that is complete and has been placed in service.
2.A Begun Construction application is submitted for energy property on which construction has begun. (Do not submit this application if the property will be placed in service by December 31, 2011.) Once the energy property is placed in service, an applicant has 90 days to submit a Placed in Service application.
FAQs – General
These are FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about the 1603 program and their answers.
Placed in Service Applications – for energy property that has been placed in service
1.Read the GUIDANCE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS, and SAMPLE APPLICATION.
2.If you do not already have one, request a DUNS number by calling 1-866-705-5711. This is needed to complete section 3A of the application.
3.Gather all of the documentation needed to complete section 6A of the application. Print the APPLICANT CHECKLIST to ensure you have all the required documentation.
4.Complete the on-line Placed in Service Application and sign the Terms and Conditions at https://treas1603.nrel.gov/.
5.Register with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at www.ccr.gov/startregistration.aspx. The CCR registration must be completed and active before a payment can be made.
Accountant’s Certification for Placed in Service
For energy properties placed in service having a cost basis in excess of $500,000, an applicant must submit an ACCOUNTANT’S CERTIFICATION with their application in section 6A.
Assignment of Payment to a Financial Institution
An applicant has the option of assigning the 1603 payment to a financial institution. This means that the 1603 payment does not go into the applicant’s account, rather it goes to the financial institution itself (perhaps for repayment of the construction loan). The 1603 payment cannot be assigned to an installer, contractor, or other non-financial institution.

FAQs – Begun Construction
For energy properties not placed in service in 2009, 2010, or 2011, an eligibility requirement of the 1603 program is that construction of the energy property must begin in 2009, 2010, or 2011. These are FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS and answers about how to meet this requirement.
Accountant’s Report for Begun Construction – 5% method and basis of $1+ million
An applicant may qualify as having begun construction by satisfying either the “physical work” or “5% of costs” method or both. These are described in the Guidance and FAQs.
For projects relying on the 5% of costs method and having a cost basis of $1 million or more the applicant must submit (in addition to other documentation described in the Applicant Checklist) a report from an independent accountant on the eligible costs of the energy property paid or incurred by December 31, 2011. This report may be in the form of one of the following:
•An Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) Report prepared by an independent accountant in accordance with AT Section 201, “Agreed-Upon Procedure Engagements” of the AICPA
•An Examination Report in accordance with AT Section 101, “Attest Engagements” (Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements 10, as amended) of the AICPA
INSTRUCTIONS AND EXAMPLE FINDINGS for the AUP Report are provided.
For the Examination Report any format that follows AT Section 101 and includes the required information in the BEGUN CONSTRUCTION APPLICANT CHECKLIST is acceptable.
Annual Report
In signing the Terms and Conditions (#5), an applicant agrees to submit a performance report for five years. A report is due annually, 30 days after the anniversary of the date the energy property was placed in service. Applicants receive a reminder notification via email 30 days before the report is due.
1.Read the SAMPLE ANNUAL REPORT.
2.Gather the documentation needed to complete section 4.3 of the report.
3.Complete the on-line annual report at https://treas1603.nrel.gov.
Questions
You may email questions to [email protected].
Please note that the purpose of the 1603 mailbox is to answer questions regarding how to apply for the 1603 program and complete the annual report. This includes: how to submit an application and assist with updating an awardee’s contact information. We also answer general questions regarding applicant and energy property eligibility. We cannot, however, answer questions that are more appropriately answered by tax accountants, lawyers, and the Internal Revenue Service. This includes questions regarding what can and cannot be included in cost basis and whether or not certain business structures meet eligibility requirements. Also, we cannot confirm the eligibility for specific projects.
If you need technical support to up-load documents or other problems with the on-line system, you may email questions to [email protected].
