The American Energy Dominance Act restores long-term certainty for critical energy and efficiency incentives to support American investment, domestic supply chains, and the union workforce building the nation’s future
Washington, D.C.—Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) introduced the American Energy Dominance Act— legislation developed in direct partnership with the North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) to restore key energy and efficiency tax incentives that help lower costs, strengthen domestic supply chains, drive long-term investment in American energy infrastructure, and support good-paying union jobs. Joining Fitzpatrick in introducing the legislation were Congressmen Mike Lawler (NY-17), Max Miller (OH-7), and Mike Carey (OH-15).
Under current law, key incentives such as 179D and 45L are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026. For capital-intensive sectors, a shortened policy horizon does more than disrupt planning—it raises the risk that critical projects are delayed, scaled back, or never built at all. When that happens, it is American workers, American employers, and American families who pay the price through slower growth, tighter energy supply, and continued cost pressure. At a moment when the country needs more capacity, more affordability, and more domestic strength, we cannot afford to make it harder to build. This legislation restores the certainty needed to move projects forward and help deliver a more affordable, secure, and American-made energy future.
“If America wants to lower costs, strengthen its energy supply, and build with confidence for the future, then we need a policy framework strong enough to support the scale of that work,” said Fitzpatrick. “That means certainty. When the rules are unstable, projects stall, hiring slows, investment hesitates, and the people counting on progress pay the price. The men and women of NABTU understand that better than anyone because they are the ones building America’s future with their hands, skill, and grit. This bill is a pro-worker, pro-growth, pro-America solution that will help drive investment, strengthen domestic energy production, expand affordability, and ensure the next chapter of American growth is built here at home by American workers.”
"We thank Congressman Fitzpatrick for his continued dedication to providing America with the power it desperately needs. This legislation, reinforces a commitment to an all-of-the-above energy approach and will aid in building our nation’s energy dominance in a way that supports hard working Americans with middle-class sustaining jobs,” said NABTU President Sean McGarvey.
“No one knows the rising cost of living better than a New Yorker. That’s why we’re giving homeowners, builders, and businesses the certainty they need to invest in energy efficiency, lowering utility bills, and supporting good-paying jobs. By extending key tax incentives, including the 179D commercial buildings deduction, the 45L new home credit, and investments in hydrogen production, we’re helping deliver more reliable energy here at home,” said Lawler.
"Providing long-term certainty in our tax code is essential for American energy dominance,” said Miller. “By extending these critical credits, we are ensuring that businesses and families have the stability they need to invest in lower-cost energy solutions, strengthening our domestic supply chains and keeping the United States competitive on the global stage.”
What the American Energy Dominance Act does:
- Restores the 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction without a scheduled expiration.
- Extends the 45L New Energy Efficient Home Credit through December 31, 2032.
- Extends the 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Credit construction deadline from January 1, 2028, to January 1, 2033.
- Preserves long-term certainty for the 45Y Clean Electricity Production Credit and 48E Clean Electricity Investment Credit to help bring more affordable power online, support job creation, and strengthen domestic energy supply.
Together, these incentives provide more than tax relief—they provide a stable foundation for long-term American growth. By restoring the certainty needed to plan, finance, and build major projects, this legislation helps expand domestic energy capacity, strengthen supply chains, support skilled workers, and make costs more manageable over time. That is how America builds a stronger economy, a more secure energy future, and lasting opportunity here at home.
