Regional Energy Hubs Act of 2026

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Energy to give money to States with approved State energy conservation plans, and to Indian Tribes, that ask for it so they can set up regional energy hubs. Each hub would be led by a local community-based nonprofit and made up of partner organizations. Hubs would help residents and businesses learn about and use energy and energy efficiency programs, such as tax credits, rebates, and utility bill assistance, and would connect people with contractors and job training. Each hub would file a yearly report, and the bill would create a federal advisory committee to share best practices. It would authorize $50 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with at least 5 percent set aside for Indian Tribes where practicable.
