Energy Bills Relief Act’s Restoring Tax Credits Is Step in the Right Direction

WASHINGTON, DC — Rep. Sean Casten (IL) and Rep. Mike Levin (CA) have introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act to lower energy costs for Americans by expanding access to affordable, clean energy. While Trump administration policies have contributed to rising energy costs, this legislation seeks to deliver savings for ratepayers by restoring tax credits to accelerate renewable energy development.
