The State Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2025 creates a federal grant program to help states and Indian tribes develop energy efficiency initiatives for manufacturers. States and tribes that receive funding would use it to provide technical assistance and financial support to manufacturing facilities for energy audits, water efficiency improvements, emissions reductions, renewable energy installation, and adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies like artificial intelligence. The bill limits how states can spend the money—no more than 50 percent on studies or implementation costs, no more than 10 percent on administrative expenses, and no more than $100,000 or 5 percent per individual facility—while ensuring at least 5 percent of funds go to tribal programs. The legislation authorizes $100 million annually from 2026 through 2030 for the program and requires states to supplement rather than replace existing federal or state funding.
