US Energy Industry Fights to Preserve Clean Energy Tax Credits
Key Ideas
  • US energy industry groups are lobbying Congress to protect clean energy tax credits, including those related to wind, solar power, and hydrogen, from being phased out in the Republican budget plan.
  • The Advanced Energy United group has launched a national ad campaign to emphasize the economic benefits of these tax credits, highlighting job creation and investments in clean energy technologies.
  • Hydrogen industry lobbyists are also advocating to maintain the federal 45V tax credit to support hydrogen projects, citing job creation potential and economic growth in the sector.
  • Various companies and trade groups are urging lawmakers to safeguard these credits to prevent potential job losses, manufacturing disruptions, and to ensure the competitiveness of the US clean energy market against global competitors like China.
US energy industry trade groups are intensifying efforts to persuade Congress to retain clean energy tax credits proposed for elimination in the Republican budget plan. The House Ways and Means committee suggested phasing out or canceling several subsidies from President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, impacting wind, solar power, hydrogen, and other eco-friendly technologies. Advanced Energy United initiated a nationwide ad campaign to showcase the economic advantages of these tax credits, stressing job creation and investments in the clean energy sector. Simultaneously, hydrogen industry lobbyists are advocating to preserve the federal 45V tax credit, emphasizing its potential to create thousands of jobs yearly and contribute billions to the GDP. Concerns have been raised by various companies and trade groups, warning of adverse effects like job cuts, manufacturing closures, and a competitive disadvantage against countries like China if these credits are eliminated. The lobbying efforts aim to ensure the continuation of tax incentives that fuel renewable energy growth and support the development of a sustainable energy future.
