Summary

Official summary (Introduced in Senate, 2025-02-06):

Credit Incentives for Resilient Critical Utility Infrastructure and Transformers Act or the CIRCUIT Act

This bill expands the advanced manufacturing production tax credit to include up to 10% of the cost to produce transformers that have an input voltage of 34.5 kilovolts or less, have an output voltage of 600 volts or less, and are rated for operation at a frequency of 60 hertz (i.e., distribution transformers).

(Some exceptions apply.)
