This bill directs the Secretary of Energy to fund projects that repair aging facilities and upgrade infrastructure at the government's National Laboratories. The funding will address deferred maintenance, critical infrastructure repairs, and modernization of research facilities, administrative buildings, utilities, and other essential systems needed to support current and future scientific missions. The bill authorizes $5 billion per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, with at least one-third of that amount managed by the Office of Science, and requires the Secretary to submit annual reports to Congress detailing which projects receive funding and their timelines. The legislation also requires the Department of Energy to develop and submit a comprehensive 10-year strategy within one year of enactment that outlines facility priorities, long-term operational costs, and how funding will be allocated across the department's various laboratories and offices.
