Clean Energy Advocates Lobby Congress to Protect IRA Tax Credits

Renewable energy groups meet with lawmakers to defend incentives under threat from proposed GOP budget cuts and policy shifts.

Over 100 meetings are being held on Capitol Hill by clean energy groups representing over 2,000 companies to advocate for preserving Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits.
Republican lawmakers are considering repealing IRA clean energy subsidies as part of broader efforts to reallocate funds toward other priorities, including fossil fuel investments and immigration enforcement.
Advocates argue that IRA tax credits have catalyzed hundreds of billions in private investments, created jobs, and reduced energy costs, with significant benefits in Republican districts.
President Trump has issued executive orders pausing clean energy project funding and aims to scale back IRA provisions, labeling them financially burdensome.
Some Republican lawmakers, particularly those representing districts benefiting from clean energy investments, have expressed opposition to repealing the tax credits.
