Energy Efficiency Grant Reauthorization

Summary#

The bill would reauthorize the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It would add energy supply diversification and alternative fuel use to the program’s goals. Grants could support energy distribution technologies that improve efficiency or expand access to alternative fuels, including distributed resources, district heating and cooling, and alternative fuel delivery infrastructure.

What it means for you#

The program could provide grants for eligible projects. The bill does not specify which projects would receive funding or how much any recipient would get.

Expenses#

The bill would authorize $3.5 billion in grant funding for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030. It would allow up to 1 percent of those amounts to be used for program administrative expenses. These are authorized amounts; the bill does not itself provide the funding.
