Form 8835 (2000) Page 2

Purpose of Form

Qualified energy resources means closed-loop biomass,

poultry waste, and wind.

Closed-loop biomass means the use of any organic material

from a plant that is planted exclusively for use at a qualified

facility to produce electricity. It does not include the use of

any waste materials (such as scrap wood, manure, or

municipal or agricultural waste) or standing timber.

Qualified facility means:

Reference price means the annual average contract price

per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated from the same

qualified energy resource and sold in the previous year in the

United States as determined by the Secretary of the

Treasury.

United States and U.S. possessions include the seabed

and subsoil of those submarine areas that are adjacent to

the territorial waters over which the United States has

exclusive rights according to international law.

Specific Instructions

Figure any renewable electricity production credit from your

trade or business on lines 1 through 12. Skip lines 1 through

12 if you are claiming only a credit that was allocated to you

from an S corporation, partnership, estate, or trust.

How To Figure the Credit

Line 4

Use Form 8835 to claim the renewable electricity production

credit. The credit is allowed only for the sale of electricity

produced in the United States or U.S. possessions from

qualified energy resources at a qualified facility (see

Definitions below).

Fiscal year taxpayers. If you have sales in 2000 and 2001

and the credit rate on line 1 or 4 or the phaseout adjustment

on line 2 or 5 is different for 2001, make separate

computations for each line. Use the respective sales, credit

rate, and phaseout adjustment for each calendar year. Enter

the total of the two computations on lines 1 and 2 or lines 4

and 5. Attach the computations to Form 8835 and write “FY”

in the margin.

Line 1

Line 2

The credit is 1.5 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the sale of

electricity produced by the taxpayer from qualified energy

resources at a qualified facility during the credit period (see

Definitions below).

The credit is proportionately phased out over a 3-cent

range when the reference price (see Definitions below)

exceeds the adjusted threshold price (see next paragraph).

Both the 1.5-cent credit rate and the 8-cent threshold

price are adjusted for inflation. The reference price and the

inflation adjustment factor (IAF) for the calendar year are

published in the Federal Register by April 1 each year.

If the reference price is less than the threshold price

(adjusted by the IAF), there is no reduction. If the reference

price is more than 3 cents over the adjusted threshold price,

there is no credit. If the reference price is more than the

threshold price, but not more than 3 cents above the

adjusted threshold price, there is a phaseout adjustment on

lines 2 and 5 of Form 8835.

The credit is also reduced for any government grants,

subsidized financing, and other credits. See Line 8 below for

details.

Note: For calendar year 2000, per Notice 2000-52, 2000-38

I.R.B. 292, the IAF is 1.1382 and the reference price per kWh

is 0 cents for facilities producing electricity from closed-loop

biomass or poultry waste energy resources and is 4.95 cents

for facilities producing electricity from wind energy resources.

Therefore, the credit is 1.7 cents per kWh (1.5 x 1.1382

rounded to the nearest .1 cent) and the adjusted threshold

price is increased to 9.1 cents (8 x 1.1382 rounded to the

nearest .1 cent).

Credit period means the 10-year period beginning with the

date the facility is placed in service.

Example. If the reference price is 10.0¢ and the adjusted

threshold price is 9.0¢, reduce the credit by 1/3 ((10.0¢ –

9.0¢) ÷ 3¢ = 1⁄3 = .3333). Enter the line 1 credit in the first

entry space on line 2, .3333 in the second entry space, and

multiply to figure the reduction. This also applies to line 5 of

the form.

Definitions

General Instructions

Poultry waste means poultry manure and litter, including

wood shavings, straw, rice hulls, and other bedding material

for the disposition of manure.

● Any taxpayer-owned facility originally placed in service

after 1992 and before 2002 that uses closed-loop biomass to

produce electricity;

● Any taxpayer-owned facility originally placed in service

after 1993 and before 2002 that uses wind to produce

electricity (see Rev. Rul. 94-31, 1994-1 C.B. 16, for details);

or

● Any facility of the taxpayer originally placed in service after

1999 and before 2002 that uses poultry waste to produce

electricity. If a governmental unit owns the facility, the lessor

or operator of the facility is eligible for the credit.

Line 5

Enter the kilowatt-hours of electricity produced and sold

during 2000 from a facility using closed-loop biomass or

poultry waste as the renewable resource and multiply by

$.017. The $.017 rate will also apply to 2001 sales if the

2001 IAF is less than 1.1667. If the 2001 IAF causes a rate

increase, fiscal year filers with 2001 sales must figure line 1

as explained under Fiscal year taxpayers above.

There is no phaseout adjustment for calendar year 2000.

Calendar year filers enter zero on line 2. Fiscal year filers

with sales in 2001 also enter zero if the published 2001

reference price is equal to or less than the 2001 adjusted

threshold price. If the 2001 reference price exceeds the 2001

adjusted threshold price, the phaseout adjustment applies for

2001 sales. See How To Figure the Credit for figuring the

adjustment.

Enter the kilowatt-hours of electricity produced and sold

during 2000 that qualify for the credit from a qualified wind

facility and multiply by $.017. The $.017 rate will also apply

to 2001 sales if the 2001 IAF is less than 1.1667. If the 2001

IAF causes a rate increase, fiscal year filers with 2001 sales

must figure line 4 as explained under Fiscal year taxpayers

above. Generally, no credit is allowed for electricity produced

at a qualified wind facility placed in service after June 30,

1999, and sold to a utility under a contract originally entered

into before 1987 (whether or not the contract was amended

after 1986). See section 45(d)(7) for exceptions and more

details.

There is no phaseout adjustment for calendar year 2000.

Calendar year filers enter zero on line 5. Fiscal year filers

with sales in 2001 also enter zero if the published 2001

reference price is equal to or less than the 2001 adjusted

threshold price. If the 2001 reference price exceeds the 2001
