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.
Levin commits to a broad energy affordability agenda focused on clean energy, consumer affordability, and grid modernization.
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
The bill would make new large facilities cover their own grid-related costs.
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.
He says he will use an amendment to block federal payouts that would cancel offshore wind projects, framing it as a way to protect grid reliability and lower electricity costs.
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.
Levin backed legislation aimed at lowering electricity bills through low-cost clean energy, grid modernization, and forcing large energy users to pay their share.
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.
Levin backed a bill to shift grid-upgrade costs away from households and toward large energy users, while encouraging zero-emission power for those facilities.
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.
Levin says he is introducing energy affordability legislation that will lower electricity bills through cleaner energy, consumer protections, and grid modernization.
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 introduced a consumer-cost grid bill, but Congress.gov shows it stalled at referral and has not advanced.
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.
Levin publicly advanced the same affordability-and-grid agenda, but this is still a proposal rather than delivered policy.
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.
Levin took a concrete, recent step aligned with the affordability-and-clean-energy promise, but it was blocked and did not deliver the 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.
