The Emergency Generators Bill
Tax credit for emergency generators introduced in Texas
POWER Act of 2025 Preventing Outages With Electricity Reinforcement Act of 2025
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would let people who buy emergency generators claim a tax credit, lowering the amount of tax they owe.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, the credit could encourage more generators, helping power during storms, but it also reduces tax revenue that could fund other services, so voters should watch the debate.
