Energy Credit Legislation is Proving More Expensive Than Planned

The centerpiece of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA22) was a myriad of new and expanded energy credits intended to address climate change. Using the Congressional Budget Offices February 2024 report, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that the tenyear cost of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 credits will increase by 170%, from $271 billion to $736 billion between 2022 and 2031.

The increased costs will contribute to the pressure to repeal or reduce energy credits if the November election results in changes to the control of the House, Senate, and/or the White House.
