Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign-Controlled Energy Sources

Executive Order 14315 of July 7, 2025

Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for
Unreliable, Foreign-Controlled Energy Sources

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. For too long, the Federal
Government has forced American taxpayers to subsidize
expensive and unreliable energy sources like wind and
solar. The proliferation of these projects displaces
affordable, reliable, dispatchable domestic energy
sources, compromises our electric grid, and denigrates
the beauty of our Nation's natural landscape. Moreover,
reliance on so-called “green” subsidies threatens
national security by making the United States dependent
on supply chains controlled by foreign adversaries.
Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts to
unreliable energy sources is vital to energy dominance,
national security, economic growth, and the fiscal
health of the Nation.

Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States
to:

    (a) rapidly eliminate the market distortions and
costs imposed on taxpayers by so-called “green”
energy subsidies;
    (b) build upon and strengthen the repeal of, and
modifications to, wind, solar, and other “green”
energy tax credits in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act;
and
    (c) end taxpayer support for unaffordable and
unreliable “green” energy sources and supply chains
built in, and controlled by, foreign adversaries.

Sec. 3. Tax Credits and One Big Beautiful Bill Act
Implementation by the Department of the Treasury. (a)
Within 45 days following enactment of the One Big
Beautiful Bill Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall
take all action as the Secretary of the Treasury deems
necessary and appropriate to strictly enforce the
termination of the clean electricity production and
investment tax credits under sections 45Y and 48E of
the Internal Revenue Code for wind and solar
facilities. This includes issuing new and revised
guidance as the Secretary of the Treasury deems
appropriate and consistent with applicable law to
ensure that policies concerning the “beginning of
construction” are not circumvented, including by
preventing the artificial acceleration or manipulation
of eligibility and by restricting the use of broad safe
harbors unless a substantial portion of a subject
facility has been built.

    (b) Within 45 days following enactment of the One
Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Secretary of the Treasury
shall take prompt action as the Secretary of the
Treasury deems appropriate and consistent with
applicable law to implement the enhanced Foreign Entity
of Concern restrictions in the One Big Beautiful Bill
Act.

Sec. 4. One Big Beautiful Bill Act Implementation by
the Department of the Interior. (a) Within 45 days
following enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act,
the Secretary of the Interior shall conduct a review of
regulations, guidance, policies, and practices under
the Department of the Interior's jurisdiction to
determine whether any provide preferential treatment to
wind and solar facilities in comparison to dispatchable
energy sources. The Secretary of the Interior shall
then revise any identified regulations, guidance,
policies, and practices as appropriate and consistent
with applicable law to eliminate any such preferences
for wind and solar facilities.

Sec. 5. Reports. Within 45 days of the date of this
order, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary
of the Interior shall submit a report to the President,
through the Assistant to the President for Economic
Policy, the findings made under, and actions taken and
planned to be taken to implement, this order.

Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
    (d) The costs for publication of this order shall
be borne by the Department of the Treasury.

    (Presidential Sig.)

THE WHITE HOUSE,

    July 7, 2025.
