Committee Updates

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

DOE Cancels Energy Projects

On October 2, the Department of Energy (DOE) cancelled roughly $7.6 billion in funding predominantly for energy projects in states represented by Democrats in the Senate. Affected states include Connecticut, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. The cancellations would also affect 136 congressional districts, including 108 held by Democrats and 28 held by Republicans. However, DOE may cancel additional grants. An unconfirmed list includes the already-terminated grants with roughly 300 more, including some in Republican-led states and districts. These grants were funded under regular appropriations, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The $2.8 million Resilient and Efficient Codes Implementation (RECI) grant ASHRAE secured is also included in this list. DOE has not made a final decision on which projects from this list will be terminated.
