Energy Bills Relief Act Would Get Cheap Energy onto the Grid

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Today Reps. Sean Casten (D-IL), Mike Levin (D-CA) and over 100 original co-sponsors introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act.

“Electricity bills are rising, and people need relief,” said Joanna Slaney, Vice President for Political and Government Affairs, Environmental Defense Fund. “Instead, the Trump administration is blocking the energy sources that are the cheapest and fastest to deploy. The Energy Bills Relief Act would get needed affordable, clean and reliable energy onto the grid, significantly improve grid reliability and help people pay their electricity bills.”

To help reduce consumer electricity bills, the Energy Bills Relief Act would provide support for home energy efficiency programs, provide energy bill assistance to millions of households, prevent the president from blocking clean energy projects and restore the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits that spurred unprecedented investments in cheap energy.
