Republican senators seek to change Senate bill clean energy tax, improve tax credits

  • The Senate passed a 51-50 domestic policy bill on Tuesday with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote in Washington, D.C.
  • The bill gradually eliminates major financial incentives for renewable energy projects involving wind and solar power that begin operation after 2027 and implements a new levy on those utilizing parts imported from China.
  • Clean energy developers and trade groups strongly oppose the last-minute tax provision, warning it will raise costs, freeze investments, and destabilize the industry and grid reliability.
  • John Hensley, senior vice president at a leading clean energy trade group, described the tax as punitive and projected that it could raise industry costs by $4 to $7 billion while putting a significant portion of renewable project development at risk.
  • The bill's implications include potential job losses, higher consumer energy prices up to 18%, and a risk of delaying clean power capacity expansion amid rising electricity demand.
