Energy Tax Credits Action Center
Energy tax credits and Elective Pay are transforming what’s possible for schools — helping fund infrastructure upgrades that lower energy costs, create healthier learning environments, and save taxpayer dollars.
As members of Congress discuss the future of energy tax credits, state and school leaders, advocates, and community members all have a role to play in protecting this funding for schools.
Ways to Take Action

Case studies also show decision makers how the tax credits support long-term planning and smart investments in school infrastructure and the local economy.

Community members and media partners can share stories that add local context to media coverage of Congressional discussions on energy tax credits and highlight progress already underway. These stories help show how national policy decisions impacts our schools and communities.
