Universities and school districts across the US rework sustainability strategies after HR1 cuts key tax incentives for solar, wind and EVs
HR1's enactment in 2025 significantly disrupted clean energy planning in U.S. schools by rolling back key Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. Districts now face increased costs for solar panels, electric buses, and other initiatives, alongside stricter compliance rules. Institutions are exploring alternative funding and revised project scopes to maintain climate commitments despite reduced federal support.
