Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Regional Energy Hubs Act of 2026 would create a new federal program providing grants to states and Indian tribes to establish and operate regional energy hubs that help residents access energy assistance and efficiency programs. These hubs would serve as local coordination centers run by community-based organizations that work with multiple partners including nonprofits, local governments, utilities, and workforce development groups to increase public awareness of available energy programs, tax credits, rebates, and financing options, with special focus on disadvantaged and rural communities. Each hub would be required to conduct outreach, provide education about energy affordability programs, connect residents with local contractors and energy professionals, support workforce development, and help coordinate funding from various federal and state sources. The bill authorizes fifty million dollars annually from 2027 through 2031, with at least five percent of those funds reserved for Indian tribes, while the remaining funds would be distributed to states using the existing Energy Policy and Conservation Act formula. States and tribes receiving funding would designate the hubs and ensure they are geographically distributed to reach underserved areas, with each hub required to submit annual reports on its activities and outcomes.
