Energy Savings and Weatherization Reauthorization Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Senator Coons, Christopher A. [D-DE]
Introduced
Summary
Sharply increases per-home funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program. The bill reauthorizes the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) through 2030 and tightens the standard for what counts as a 'fully weatherized' home by requiring audit-recommended measures or measures from a Secretary-approved priority list plus a final quality-control inspection.
Show full summary
- Low-income households: Raises the base per-unit cap from $6,500 to $15,000 and increases per-measure caps from $3,000 to $6,000, so homes can receive deeper energy upgrades and more comprehensive repairs.
- State grantees and program managers: Changes the State Average Cost Per Unit rules and lets the Secretary raise per-dwelling funding above the stated cap when market conditions make higher costs necessary, giving programs more flexibility to meet local prices.
- Program rules and quality control: Clarifies terminology to focus on 'fully weatherized' units, requires completion of installations plus a final quality inspection, and updates internal statutory cross-references to match the new structure.

More weatherization help for low-income homes
If enacted, this bill would keep the Weatherization Assistance Program authorized through 2030. It would raise the main per-home cap in the statute to $15,000 and raise a per-measure threshold to $6,000. The Secretary would be allowed to raise per-home aid above those limits when market costs require it. The bill would define a dwelling as "fully weatherized" only after Secretary-approved audit measures are installed and a final quality-control inspection is completed. Partially finished homes might not count as fully weatherized for program reporting or cost calculations.
