As part of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, it repealed more than $500 billion of former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act clean energy tax credits, including incentives for homeowners to make energy-efficient upgrades and improvements to their properties. 

The tax credits repeal comes at a time when electricity prices are continuing to rise faster than inflation. As of August, electricity prices have increased by 6.2% for the year, and prices have increased by 0.2% on a month-to-month basis, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest Consumer Price Index report.
