CHARGE Act of 2025 Community Health Access Through Resilient...
To direct the Secretary of Energy to establish a grant program to facilitate the use of solar energy systems and energy storage technologies at Federally qualified health centers, and for other purposes.
The CHARGE Act of 2025 aims to create a grant program managed by the Department of Energy. This program would support the installation of solar energy systems and energy storage technologies at Federally qualified health centers, which are community health centers that provide services regardless of a patient's ability to pay. These grants are intended to help these health centers reduce their energy costs and improve their energy resilience.
This bill would primarily affect Federally qualified health centers by providing them with financial support to adopt renewable energy solutions. By using solar energy and energy storage, these centers could lower their energy expenses and be better prepared for power outages, ultimately benefiting the communities they serve.
HB6281 was introduced on November 21, 2025, and has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for further review. This bill is in its early stages and will need to go through committee hearings, potential amendments, and votes before it could be sent to the full House for consideration and then to the Senate.
