We will deploy affordable clean energy that is good for the planet and your pocketbook, put families over fossil fuel companies, and modernize our grid for the 21st century.
Lower electricity bills by deploying low-cost clean energy, putting affordability over profits, and modernizing the electric grid.
Occurrences
Reinstating tax credits for home and system-wide energy improvements that were ended by President Trump and congressional Republicans
Incentivizing utility companies to save consumers’ money by rewarding them for making their systems more efficient, thereby lowering bills
Providing financial assistance to American families to make sure their power isn’t shut off
Cracking down on price gouging, so energy companies can’t take advantage of you to boost their profits
Ensuring that facilities like data centers are paying for their own costs because it’s not fair for their expenses to be pushed onto your household if one opens in your area
Giving a voice to the American people so they can benefit from energy projects in their community
I will fight every single day to make it law.
My amendment would block these payouts for the next fiscal year so that we in Congress and the American people can understand the legal authority under which these deals are being struck and the full impact that these cancellations will have on grid reliability and costs for our constituents.
The Energy Bills Relief Act is the consumer-first energy policy that American families have been demanding. It lowers energy bills by putting affordability over profits, deploys the most affordable and reliable energy we have ever had, modernizes our electric grid, and ensures that data centers and large energy users pay their fair share instead of passing those costs onto families and small businesses.
The SHIELD Act would update federal utility policy to ensure that massive electricity users, rather than everyday ratepayers, bear the costs of the grid infrastructure they require, while incentivizing large energy consumption facilities to power their operations with zero-emission electricity.
I’m proud to introduce the Energy Bills Relief Act — a consumer-first plan to lower electricity bills... We will deploy affordable clean energy... put families over fossil fuel companies, and modernize our grid for the 21st century.
This is just one of the many steps we must take to bring down energy bills. I’m proud to partner with Rep. Mullin and Sen. Welch to lead this effort, and I look forward to working with them to move our commonsense legislation through Congress.
The bill sponsors say their legislation would help keep electricity costs in check... "The Energy Bills Relief Act changes that equation entirely and delivers the real, comprehensive relief that families across this country deserve."
the result of deploying more offshore wind? Lower costs for our constituents.

The Energy Bills Relief Act shifts our focus to lowering costs and increasing reliability for American homes and businesses by deploying more renewable energy.
Evidence
Congress.gov shows H.R. 7066, the SHIELD Act, was introduced by Rep. Mike Levin on 2026-01-14 and referred the same day to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The bill text targets large load facilities and electricity cost allocation, but the page shows no later legislative action.
Levin's official House site says he announced the Energy Bills Relief Act to lower electricity bills by deploying low-cost clean energy, putting affordability over profits, and modernizing the electric grid. The release describes an introduction announcement, not enactment or implementation.
During a House Appropriations Committee markup on May 13, 2026, Rep. Mike Levin introduced an amendment to stop DOJ/DOI from using taxpayer funds to kill offshore wind projects; the office says the amendment was rejected by Republicans on the committee. The release ties the action to lower-cost power and notes the projects would have provided affordable power to over three million homes.
Rep. Levin's official press-release index for the June 11-July 10, 2026 lookback shows June 12, June 20, and June 24 releases on ICE oversight, a town hall, and a Pentagon-loan investigation; the page's visible energy-affordability items remain March 18 and March 23, before the lookback window.
Congress.gov lists H.R.7066, the SHIELD Act, as sponsored by Rep. Mike Levin, introduced January 14, 2026, referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce the same day, and still at the 'Introduced' status rather than passed by either chamber or enacted.
Congress.gov describes H.R.7066 as a bill to amend PURPA to add a standard relating to large load facilities as a class of electric consumers, but also says the text had not been received as of January 23, 2026, while the overview still shows only introduction and committee referral.
Levin's office says he and Rep. Sean Casten introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act with 120 House Democrats to lower energy bills, deploy low-cost clean energy, modernize the grid, and ensure large energy users pay their fair share. The release describes introduction and bill goals, not enactment or bill implementation.
The draft bill text would restore low-cost clean-energy tax credits, reverse grant terminations, expedite interconnection, support advanced transmission technologies and transformers, build out a 21st-century electricity grid, and protect consumers in electricity regulation. It is formatted as introduced legislation, not enacted law.
Levin's office says that during a House Appropriations Committee markup he introduced an amendment to stop DOJ or Interior funds from being used to cancel offshore wind projects, but the amendment was rejected by Republicans on the committee.
Assessments
Levin took serious federal legislative action directly matching the promise, including sponsoring or co-introducing the Energy Bills Relief Act and SHIELD Act and offering an offshore-wind affordability amendment. However, the cited record shows these measures were introduced, referred, or rejected, with no enactment or implemented federal policy that actually lowered electricity bills, deployed clean energy at scale, prioritized affordability over profits, or modernized the grid. Because the promised outcome was not delivered but there was meaningful effort, this is a failed delivery with an effort badge.
Levin repeatedly advanced the stated affordability and clean-energy agenda through introduced legislation and a committee amendment, but the evidence shows these efforts stalled or were rejected and did not produce lower electricity bills, grid modernization, or enacted affordability policy.
The evidence shows Mike Levin introduced and advocated for legislation and amendments directly aligned with lowering electricity bills through clean energy and grid modernization, including the Energy Bills Relief Act, SHIELD Act, and an offshore wind amendment. However, the cited actions were proposals or failed amendments, with no enactment or implemented federal outcome lowering bills. Because he made serious legislative attempts but the promised outcome has not been delivered, this should be scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
