Climate Solutions Act of 2025
Current understanding
The Climate Solutions Act of 2025 is introduced federal legislation proposing a comprehensive statutory climate framework: a 100% renewable electricity standard by 2035 for retail electric suppliers, mandatory energy savings targets for retail suppliers, and a directive to EPA to set annual GHG reduction targets aligned with a 52% economy-wide reduction by 2035 and net-zero by 2050. Practical effects would include federally-enforced clean generation mandates on utilities, new EPA rulemaking cadence for GHG targets, and downstream implications for power-sector permitting, grid planning, and interaction with existing tax credits (§45Y/§48E). Status: introduced; no committee action or CBO scoring reflected.
Evidence log
- 2025-11-18 — Climate Solutions Act of 2025: cross-connection with clean-electricity-tax-credits: The Act’s 100% renewable-by-2035 mandate would operate alongside the §45Y/§48E clean electricity tax credits, creating both a demand-pull (credits) and a compliance-push (mandate) for zero-carbon generation.
