The Good Energy Jobs Act of 2026 establishes new labor and community benefit requirements for Department of Energy funding to energy projects. Projects receiving DOE financial assistance must pay prevailing wages to construction workers, use registered apprentices for at least 15% of labor hours, remain neutral on unionization, and negotiate project labor agreements for projects exceeding $1 million. Recipients must also submit community benefits plans that include local stakeholder engagement, workforce development commitments, and other benefits for disadvantaged workers and communities, with the DOE publicly tracking compliance and enforcing penalties for non-compliance. At least 40% of DOE financial assistance across climate, energy, transportation, housing, workforce training, and environmental cleanup programs must go to entities committed to providing these specified benefits to small or disadvantaged communities through enforceable agreements. The Department must submit annual reports to Congress on job creation, job quality, apprenticeship usage, and community benefits, with aggregate data made publicly available.
