Kiggans leads bipartisan letter to Senate on Budget Bill

Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (VA-02) and Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) led a bipartisan letter to Senate leadership encouraging commonsense reforms to key provisions in the energy title of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

In the letter, Kiggans, Fitzpatrick, and 11 of their colleagues, raised concerns about several provisions in the bill. These include the abrupt expiration of clean energy tax credits, overly burdensome Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) restrictions, and restrictions on credit transferability. The lawmakers warned that these measures could jeopardize energy development, increase costs, and weaken U.S. competitiveness, and urged the Senate to adopt practical refinements that promote fiscal responsibility while supporting business stability and continued investment in American energy.

“While I supported H.R. 1 in its current form, there remains significant room for improvement in preserving the clean energy tax credits. We need smart energy policy that puts American families, workers, and manufacturers first,” said Congresswoman Kiggans. “That means reducing our reliance on foreign adversaries, protecting taxpayers, and giving U.S. businesses the certainty they need to keep investing in the projects that power our economy. I am hopeful that our Senate partners can make these necessary changes as the legislative process moves forward.”

“A strong energy policy is not just a matter of economics—it’s a matter of national strength. Without these key improvements, we risk sidelining American workers, stalling clean energy innovation, and ceding our competitive edge” said Congressman Fitzpatrick. “I urge the Senate to work with us to get this right—to protect taxpayers, support the skilled workforce driving projects in our communities, and ensure energy jobs remain a foundation of American prosperity. Our future must be powered by energy that is clean, reliable, and made right here at home.”
