Investing in State Energy Act of 2026

This bill sets deadlines for the U.S. Department of Energy to send out money and information under the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program. Once the Secretary of Energy receives a complete state or tribal plan, the Secretary would have to send the funds within 30 days. Within 60 days after funds become available, the Secretary would have to release application guidance and publish how much each state, Indian Tribe, or other recipient will get. The bill also authorizes $100,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 for the State Energy Program, to be distributed using the formula in effect on January 1, 2026.
