The FY2027 US House subcommittee energy and water appropriations bill increases funding for nuclear defense, nuclear energy base programs, and water infrastructure, while cutting clean energy innovation programs like EERE by 40%, ARPA-E by 14%, grid deployment funding, and environmental cleanup programs including the elimination of the Army Corps of Engineers' FUSRAP.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Your clean energy projects now face a major federal funding cut that will slow innovation and grid expansion just as demand grows. You need to rethink your near-term growth plans and look for private or state-level funding sources to replace lost federal support.
