As energy prices continue to surge and new federal regulations approach, 2025 marks a critical year for businesses investing in energy storage. The Battery Safe-Harbor Window offers one last opportunity to lock in valuable Investment Tax Credits (ITC) before new Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) rules take effect in 2026. If you’re planning to integrate Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into your operations, acting before the deadline could mean the difference between major savings and missed opportunities.
Understanding the 2025 Battery Safe-Harbor Window
The Safe-Harbor Window is designed to help businesses secure current tax incentives under the Investment Tax Credit program. To qualify, companies must purchase eligible battery systems before the new FEOC rules take effect.
Here's what you need to know:
1. FEOC Rules Effective Date: January 1, 2026
2. Safe-Harbor Qualification: Batteries must be purchased in 2025 and delivered within 105 days after final payment
3. Domestic-Content Rules Tightening: Starting in 2026, “Assembled in the USA” alone may no longer qualify for ITC benefits
By making your purchase this year, you can lock in the current ITC rate and deploy your system later—without losing eligibility.
Why Safe-Harboring in 2025 Is So Important
Energy prices are rising faster than inflation, and the transition to clean, efficient energy is accelerating. With the upcoming FEOC changes, many previously qualified systems may lose access to full ITC benefits. However, if you safe-harbor your investment in 2025—meaning you spend at least 5% of your total project cost—you'll preserve eligibility for the current incentives, even if installation happens after the rule change.
This strategy allows businesses to:
1. Protect their budget from future regulation shifts
2. Maximize tax savings under current federal programs
3. Plan and deploy systems strategically over the next few years
Simply put, buying batteries now is the smartest financial move for 2025.
