CHARGE Act of 2025

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Energy to set up a grant program within 180 days of becoming law. The grants would pay for installing solar energy systems or energy storage technology (such as batteries) at Federally qualified health centers, or for technical help with designing, installing, or running such systems. State and local governments, the health centers themselves, certain nonprofit membership groups that include these centers, and provider networks mostly owned or controlled by these centers could apply. The bill authorizes $50 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
