The Disaster Zone Energy Affordability and Investment Act would allow energy producers to apply unused tax credits from prior years to pay for repairs to damaged energy infrastructure, thereby lowering the overall cost of these necessary projects, passing the savings onto consumers.\n\n\u201cI am proud to add my name to legislation to help South Carolina recover when disaster strikes. When Hurricane Helene hit South Carolina, critical energy infrastructure was decimated, leaving families and businesses without power for days, and in some cases even weeks. For some of our communities in South Carolina, the road to recovery is still ongoing,\u201d said Senator Darline Graham.\n\n\u201cThis legislation takes a practical approach to strengthening local energy infrastructure by helping energy producers invest in a more reliable and resilient electric grid. The Disaster Zone Energy Affordability and Investment Act is a pragmatic step to prepare for South Carolina\u2019s future while keeping energy costs affordable for families and businesses,\u201d concluded Senator Darline Graham.\n\nThe Disaster Zone Energy Affordability and Investment Act:", 1, "2026-09-30T10:57:52Z", "2026-09-30T10:59:04Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.dgraham.senate.gov/press-releases/senator-darline-graham-cosponsors-legislation-to-deliver-relief-to-south-carolinians-affected-by-hurricane-helene-other-natural-disasters"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6694518961012363, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
