LINCOLN- A nonprofit solar energy advocacy group joined a Nebraska business and others for a press conference Wednesday calling on Congress to preserve federal tax credits for clean energy projects. The tax credits, Liz Veazey of Solar United Neighbors Action said, have and will continue to benefit residents and businesses should they stay in place in the next federal budget, which is being negotiated in Washington, D.C.

In 2023, Veazey said, more than 16,000 households in Nebraska saw benefits from the credit. She added that federal investments have also supported 20 new clean energy facilities in Nebraska, including five that are manufacturing American products. Veazey specifically thanked U.S. Rep. Don Bacon and 20 other House Republicans who, as reported by news website Politico last month, have urged “the party to preserve the clean energy tax credits” established in the Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law by former President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in 2022.
