Fleets with limited space, or fleets needing more fueling locations along their routes can take advantage of this option with no infrastructure investment. Network refueling stations are accessible 24/7 through a card lock system. If a network is not currently available in your area, a propane supplier may create one for your fleet, if it’s large enough.

This credit applies to fuel dispensers and essential parts like installation labor. Tax-exempt entities, including state and local governments, may also qualify for the same credit.

For residential installations, consumers can claim a credit of up to 30% of the cost (up to $1,000) for propane fueling equipment installed at their homes.

To qualify, fueling equipment must be installed in a low-income or rural area. Check if your location qualifies using the 30C Tax Credit Eligibility Locator.
