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.
               
                DONALD J. TRUMP

               THE WHITE HOUSE,

                   July 7, 2025.
