This report by Energy Innovation analyzes the projected economic, environmental, and health impacts of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA), a 2025 budget Reconciliation legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. The analysis compares a "Current Policies" scenario against an "EI House OBBBA" scenario, finding that the bill's repeal of clean energy tax credits and environmental standards would lead to higher energy costs, significant job losses in manufacturing, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and higher premature death rates.

This report by Energy Innovation analyzes the potential economic, environmental, and health impacts of the U.S. House of Representatives' 2025 budget Reconciliation legislation. The analysis compares a 'Current Policies' scenario against an 'EI Reconciliation May 2025' scenario, finding that the proposed repeals and modifications of clean energy tax credits and funding would increase household energy costs, lead to significant job losses, reduce electricity capacity, and increase greenhouse gas emissions and premature deaths.

Energy Innovation used the U.S. Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) to model the climate and energy provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. The analysis finds that the IRA would significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create over a million jobs, and provide substantial public health benefits, despite emissions increases from required oil and gas leasing.

This briefing by Energy Innovation analyzes the economic impacts of the U.S. Senate's version of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," passed on July 1st. The analysis forecasts that the bill's energy provisions—specifically the phase-out of clean energy tax credits and new material sourcing requirements—will reduce electricity capacity, increase power prices for consumers, and decrease U.S. GDP and employment.

This document is an appendix to a toolkit by RMI that provides a comprehensive set of questions for regulators to use when evaluating how utilities incorporate Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives into their Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs). It aims to help regulators identify cost-saving opportunities and assess the rationale behind utility assumptions regarding clean energy tax credits, hydrogen, carbon capture, and electrification.
