Energy Freedom Act

The Energy Freedom Act (S 1721) repeals numerous tax credits and incentives for clean energy, energy efficiency, and alternative fuels currently included in the Internal Revenue Code. This bill affects individuals, businesses, and organizations that currently benefit from these credits, including homeowners making energy-efficient home improvements, clean energy producers, and manufacturers of alternative fuels. The legislation specifically eliminates credits for residential and commercial energy efficiency, clean vehicles, renewable energy production, biofuels, and other clean energy technologies. Most provisions will take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, with some provisions taking effect January 1, 2026.
