On December 9, 2019, 22 Senate Democrats released a letter supporting the expansion of green energy tax credits. This letter was drafted in response to the Growing Renewable Energy and Efficiency Now (GREEN) Act discussion draft that was circulated in the U.S. House of Representatives on November 19, 2019. The Senators agree with the priorities of the GREEN Act and pledge to similarly prioritize and include:

  • Offshore Wind Investment Tax Credit,
     
  • Storage Investment Tax Credit,
     
  • Solar and Clean Energy Investment Tax Credit Extension,
     
  • Energy Efficiency Tax Credit,
     
  • Clean Vehicles, and
     
  • Onshore Wind.
