The INVEST Act would expand the federal work opportunity tax credit to include veterans hired specifically in renewable energy jobs. Employers who hire veterans with relevant credentials—such as military training in renewable energy fields, a vocational degree in renewable energy completed within the past year, or a green building certification—would receive a tax credit on the wages paid to these employees. The bill defines renewable energy broadly to include solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal resources. The legislation would apply to veterans hired after December 31, 2025, and also ensures that U.S. territories receive equivalent tax benefits to maintain parity with the federal incentive. This provision aims to help transition military personnel into the growing clean energy sector while giving employers financial incentives to hire this workforce.
