H.R. 5673 would reinstate federal financial assistance programs that the Department of Energy terminated in May 2025 through a secretarial memorandum. The bill essentially reverses the energy department's decision to cancel these awards and requires them to continue operating as if the terminations never happened. This legislation would affect recipients of DOE funding—including utilities, renewable energy companies, researchers, and energy infrastructure projects—whose federal financial support was cut off. The bill includes no new funding allocations or timelines, as it simply restores previously awarded assistance. The legislation targets what sponsors argue would be electricity price increases resulting from the elimination of these energy programs.
