Evidence

Casten said the Energy Bills Relief Act "reinstates tax credits for home and system-wide energy improvements".

Casten publicly advanced a bill whose stated purpose was to restore the credits, but the release shows only introduction, not enactment.

The bill text makes Title I about restoring low-cost clean-energy tax credits and repealing the H.R. 1 rollbacks.

The legislative text explicitly includes restoring the credits, but the document also shows the measure was only introduced and referred to committee.

IRS guidance still lists the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit for 2023 through 2025 and the Residential Clean Energy Credit through 2025.

As of the IRS page last reviewed on March 10, 2026, the home energy credits were still limited to 2025, so they had not been reinstated in current law.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

In federal office context, Casten gets credit for a serious legislative attempt but not for delivery without enactment. He co-led and introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act in March 2026, and the bill text explicitly sought to restore the home and system-wide energy tax credits by repealing the prior rollback. But the available record shows only introduction and committee referral, not passage into law. Meanwhile, IRS guidance current in 2026 still states the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit is available only for property placed in service through 2025 and the Residential Clean Energy Credit only for expenditures made through 2025, reflecting the 2025 law that accelerated their termination. So the promised outcome was not fulfilled, although Casten made a material effort to pursue it.
