## Summary

**Creates the National Institutes of Clean Energy to accelerate equitable clean energy research.** This bill would set up a Department of Energy agency to fund clean energy and climate science R&D, prioritize technologies that cut emissions and protect frontline communities, and support workforce development and geographic equity in the energy transition. - Frontline and disadvantaged communities: The Institutes would fund R&D that aims to reduce environmental harm and improve public health in communities hit hardest by pollution and climate impacts. Projects addressing local impacts of energy production are an explicit priority. - Workers and jobs: The bill targets R&D on job loss, job creation, and workforce development with special attention to sectors that have strong union representation and to creating high-quality jobs with strong labor standards. - Technology, research institutions, and places: It focuses funding on advanced energy technologies and demonstrations such as microgrids, energy storage, electric vehicles, long-duration grid storage, and hard-to-decarbonize sectors like aviation and shipping. Public universities, land-grant and minority-serving institutions get priority, and projects in regions with the worst job losses from 2018–2026 are emphasized. *Authorizes up to $400.0 billion in appropriations for fiscal years 2027–2036 to establish and operate the Institutes.*
