Ending Intermittent Energy Subsidies Act of 2025
Plain Language Summary
# Ending Intermittent Energy Subsidies Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill, officially called the "Ending Intermittent Energy Subsidies Act of 2025," would eliminate federal subsidies and tax incentives for "intermittent" energy sources—primarily wind and solar power. These are called "intermittent" because they depend on weather conditions and don't generate power continuously. The bill targets financial support programs that currently help these renewable energy industries develop and expand. **Who It Affects:** The legislation would impact wind and solar energy companies that currently receive federal tax credits, grants, and other financial support. It would also affect consumers and energy markets, since removing subsidies could increase electricity costs in some regions or slow the growth of renewable energy infrastructure. Energy companies in the fossil fuel industry could see reduced competition from subsidized renewables. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill is in committee (H.R.
2838), meaning it's in the early stages of the legislative process. It was introduced by Rep. Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill has not advanced to a vote or passed either chamber.
