The bill would direct the Secretary of Energy to create a grant initiative for resilient energy projects in remote, island, and Tribal communities. Eligible projects include building energy-efficiency measures, renewable energy systems, microgrids, and electricity transmission or distribution infrastructure. Grantees could request one to two years of technical assistance.
Eligible applicants include states, certain local governments, Tribal communities, and community organizations serving eligible communities. A grant could cover up to 90% of an eligible project’s cost, with a maximum grant of $5 million.
The bill authorizes $31 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It does not guarantee that these funds will be appropriated. Grants may not exceed $5 million or 90% of project costs.
