# Plain Language Summary: Ending Intermittent Energy Subsidies Act of 2025

This bill would gradually eliminate federal tax credits for wind and solar energy companies over the next four years. Currently, businesses that build and operate wind turbines or solar panels receive tax credits that reduce the amount of taxes they owe to the federal government. This bill would phase out those credits by reducing them by 20 percent each year until they disappear completely after four years.

The bill affects two main types of tax credits. The first is a production credit that rewards companies for the electricity their wind and solar facilities actually generate. The second is an investment credit that gives companies a break when they first build or purchase wind and solar equipment. Under this bill, both credits would shrink from 80 percent of their current value in year one, down to 60 percent in year two, 40 percent in year three, 20 percent in year four, and finally zero percent after that. The bill also prevents companies from transferring any remaining wind and solar credits to other businesses, which is something they can currently do.

For everyday people, this could mean higher electricity prices if wind and solar companies decide to build fewer new facilities without the tax incentives. It could also slow down the growth of renewable energy projects across the country, since these tax credits have been a major driver of wind and solar development. On the flip side, supporters of this bill argue that ending these subsidies would level the playing field for other energy sources and reduce government spending. The changes would take effect immediately after the bill becomes law, affecting any wind and solar projects built from that point forward.
