BICAMERAL ELECTRIFICATION CAUCUS
CAUCUS CHAIRS
ABOUT THE CAUCUS
Founded by U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Tina Smith (D-Minn.) and U.S. Representatives Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.) and Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), the first-ever bicameral Electrification Caucus supports efforts to save money, create jobs, and clean our air. Electrifying our homes, commercial buildings, and vehicles is one of the most practical actions we can take to address the climate crisis – and it is also currently the biggest ambition gap in our climate strategy and deserves to be elevated.
The bicameral Electrification Caucus is committed to advancing widespread electrification by addressing:
- Consumer rebates, consumer-facing tax credits, and financing mechanisms
- Workforce training
- Justice and equity issues related to electrification
- Electric vehicle charging infrastructure
- Building codes
- Grid improvements and expanding transmission
- Upstream incentives to spur U.S. manufacturing
- Transition of electric sector to clean energy
- Incentives to encourage electrification of industrial processes and facilities
