Decisions made during the construction phase regarding labor, sourcing, and compliance directly impact the credit's value, potentially increasing it from 6% to as much as 60%. By understanding and planning for these tax incentives early, contractors can differentiate themselves from competitors and deliver greater financial value to data center owners. AI
