This bill extends the Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land, which was created under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The program provides funding to develop clean energy projects, like solar and wind facilities, on lands that are currently or formerly used for coal and other mining operations. The bill simply extends the deadline for federal funding authorization from 2026 to 2030, giving the program four additional years of potential financial support. The change affects communities in coal and mining regions across the country that could benefit from economic development through renewable energy projects on reclaimed mine land. The bill does not specify new funding amounts but allows the existing program authorization to continue beyond its original expiration date.
