The CHARGE Act of 2025 directs the Department of Energy to establish a $50 million grant program to help community health centers install solar panels and energy storage systems. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, federally qualified health centers, nonprofit organizations, and health center networks that can apply for funding to install renewable energy equipment or provide technical assistance to health centers. The legislation aims to make community health centers more resilient and reduce their energy costs by transitioning to renewable energy sources. The Department of Energy must launch the program within 180 days of the bill's enactment, and Congress authorizes $50 million annually for five fiscal years from 2026 through 2030 to support these projects.
