To amend the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 to reauthorize the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program, and for other purposes.

H.R. 4308 would reauthorize and broaden the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program, which provides federal funding to support local, state, and tribal energy efficiency and energy conservation projects. The bill increases the program’s future funding, expands what the funds can be used for, and updates several provisions to include efforts around alternative fuels and new energy distribution technologies. Specifically, it authorizes $3.5 billion per year for 2026–2030 (with up to 1% per year for administration) and adds provisions to diversify energy supplies, promote alternative fuels, and deploy technologies that improve energy distribution. It also clarifies that competitive grant projects can include efforts to expand the use of alternative fuels. The technical amendments adjust cross-references within the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) to align with the updated program. In short, the bill aims to strengthen and expand federal support for local energy efficiency, broader energy resilience, and cleaner energy pathways, with a multi-year funding commitment and an emphasis on alternative fuels and distribution technologies.
