(a)
General rule
 
For purposes of section 38, the renewable electricity production credit for any taxable year is an amount equal to the product of -

(b)
Limitations and adjustments
 
(1)
Phaseout of credit
 
The amount of the credit determined under subsection (a) shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same ratio to the amount of the credit (determined without regard to this paragraph) as -

the amount by which the reference price for the calendar year in which the sale occurs exceeds 8 cents, bears to
 
(B)
3 cents.
 
(2)
Credit and phaseout adjustment based on inflation
 
The 1.5 cent amount in subsection (a), the 8 cent amount in paragraph (1), the $4.375 amount in subsection (e)(8)(A), the $3 amount in subsection (e)(8)(D)(ii)(I), and in subsection (e)(8)(B)(i) the reference price of fuel used as a feedstock (within the meaning of subsection (c)(7)(A)) in 2002 shall each be adjusted by multiplying such amount by the inflation adjustment factor for the calendar year in which the sale occurs. If any amount as increased under the preceding sentence is not a multiple of 0.1 cent, such amount shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.1 cent.
 
(3)
Credit reduced for grants, tax-exempt bonds, subsidized energy financing, and other credits
