    The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to a briefing about the status of the wide range of clean energy tax incentives enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Effective implementation of tax incentives for home energy efficiency and electrification, electric vehicles, sustainable fuels, clean and renewable energy, and energy storage-plus the game-changing "direct pay" option-will deliver many benefits to families and communities, including lowering household utility bills and expediting the transition to a decarbonized clean energy economy.

    This briefing will highlight both individual- and industry-oriented tax credits, which will provide the bulk of the law's emissions reductions. Panelists will discuss eligibility and timelines for the IRA tax incentives, implementation status, and the role Congress can play in overseeing and supporting these programs.

    • The Honorable Ron Wyden, U.S. Senator (D-Ore.) | @RonWyden
