                advanced project credit limitation that may be 
                designated under this subsection during any calendar 
                year shall not exceed the annual credit limitation with 
                respect to such year.
                    ``(B) Annual credit limitation.--For purposes of 
                this subsection, the term `annual credit limitation' 
                means $2,500,000,000 for each of calendar years 2022, 
                2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, and zero thereafter.
                    ``(C) Carryover of unused limitation.--If the

                calendar year shall be increased by the amount of such 
                excess. No amount may be carried under the preceding 
                sentence to any calendar year after 2026.
            ``(3) Placed in service deadline.--No credit shall be 
        determined under subsection (a) with respect to any property 
        which is placed in service after the date that is 4 years after
