The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published updated guidance this week for public housing authorities (PHAs) and other properties participating in HUD multifamily assisted housing programs concerning financial benefits from participation in community solar energy programs or on-site solar facilities. Notice H 2023-09 consolidates previous policy documents and provides expanded guidance for PHAs using community solar credits for buildings with master metered utility accounts and provides explicit confirmation that the guidance applies to properties with rooftop or on-site solar facilities.

Solar energy programs will be a topic of discussion at the Novogradac 2023 Fall Renewable Energy and Environmental Tax Credits Conference Nov. 2-3 in Washington, D.C.
