The US utility industry, represented by Pedro Pizarro, the CEO of utility Edison International, is actively lobbying for the preservation of clean energy and electric vehicle (EV) tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Despite concerns over President-elect Donald Trump's intentions to rescind the IRA, industry members stress the importance of maintaining these subsidies for the growth of businesses and benefits to consumers. The lobby group, Edison Electric Institute, is engaging with the Trump transition team and Republican members of Congress to highlight the positive impacts of the IRA. The article discusses the significance of the $7,500 consumer tax credit for EV purchases and the efforts by stakeholders, including major manufacturers like Rivian, Tesla, and Panasonic, to prevent its elimination. Dan Brouillette, former energy secretary under Trump, is actively involved in energy policy discussions and cabinet appointments related to the IRA tax credits. The retention of tax credits for energy storage, transmission, nuclear power, hydrogen, and EVs is crucial for the growth of EEI members such as AES, Duke Energy, and Southern Company. In the coming months, EEI members plan to advocate on Capitol Hill to explain the benefits of the IRA and ensure its preservation. The article reflects a positive sentiment towards the efforts to maintain these tax credits, emphasizing the benefits for businesses, consumers, and the energy industry as a whole in advancing clean energy and electric vehicle adoption.
