Tell Congress: Lower Our Energy Bills, Fight the Climate Crisis

Rising energy bills and the climate crisis can both be tackled by unlocking clean energy. The Energy Bills Relief Act (EBRA) will lower consumer costs by modernizing the electrical grid to accommodate more clean energy, blocking data centers from making you pay for their energy costs, and helping households pay for energy efficiency upgrades.

Send a letter telling your representative and senators to support the Energy Bills Relief Act.

Energy bills are skyrocketing. We’re facing a climate crisis and an affordability crisis that are both fueled by our dependence on expensive fossil fuels.

The good news is that clean energy is already the cheapest, most reliable power available. We just need Congress to clear the way.

The Energy Bills Relief Act (EBRA) is a consumer-first energy bill that expands access to clean energy to lower your bills and cut pollution. Here's what it will do:

Modernize our electrical grid so clean energy sources like wind and solar can connect faster — bringing more supply, more competition, and lower bills
Protect families from data centers driving up energy costs
Stop forcing ratepayers to prop up expensive, polluting fossil fuel plants that should have been retired
Help households save money through weatherization and energy efficiency improvements
Protect families from utility shutoffs
Restore the clean energy tax credits that Republicans eliminated last year

Clean energy delivers lower bills, cleaner air, and a stable climate — and Congress can make it happen now. Send a message to your lawmakers today.

Subject Support the Energy Bills Relief Act

Dear Member of Congress,

Message Body

I am writing to urgently ask you to support the Energy Bills Relief Act (EBRA). My energy bills keep climbing — and I know I'm not alone. Millions of American families are struggling to keep the lights on while the fossil fuel industry profits at our expense. At the same time, the climate crisis is producing extreme weather events that strain our grid and push costs even higher.

These two crises have one solution: clean energy.

Clean energy like wind and solar are already the cheapest, most reliable power available, lowering bills and climate pollution at the same time. The Energy Bills Relief Act would unlock that potential for American families by modernizing our grid, expanding access to clean energy, and putting consumers — not polluters — at the center of our nation’s energy policy.

I am asking you to support provisions that will:

- Restore the clean energy tax credits that Congress passed in 2022 and were eliminated last year — credits that were already lowering costs for families like mine
- Modernize and strengthen our electrical grid so that affordable clean energy can reach consumers without years of delay
- Protect my family from utility shutoffs and from having our tax dollars subsidize expensive, polluting fossil fuel plants that the market has already left behind
- Ensure that big energy consumers like data centers don't drive up costs for everyday families

The climate crisis is urgent and the affordability crisis is real. Clean energy delivers the relief that American families need, right now. Please make that happen by supporting the Energy Bills Relief Act.

Thank you.
