How to Use Clean Energy Tax Credits Before They Disappear
1 min read
Summary
The Republican-led “one big beautiful bill” signed by Donald Trump on 4 July includes rollbacks of federal support for low-income Americans and climate-friendly measures.
As part of the legislation, tax credits for purchasing alternatively fuelled vehicles will end on 30 September, affecting approximately 2 million consumers who used the home improvement tax credit in its first year of inception.
Additionally, tax credits for installing renewable energy generators, such as solar panels, will end on 31 December, after the bill cut the timeframe for such incentives from 2032 to as little as a few months.
However, there is no cut-off date for the bill’s impacts on consumer energy bills, with the potential for higher tariffs also a reason to move quickly on renewable energy installation.
