What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "POWER Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It proposes the creation of an emergency generator tax credit for qualified individuals. This credit would allow people to claim an amount up to $500 for purchasing an emergency generator for use in their principal residence. To qualify, an individual must live in an area with two or more declared covered major disasters within a five-year period and have received certain individual assistance. The credit is subject to income reductions and will terminate two years after the act is enacted.
