Facilitating the Reshoring of Energy Grid Component Manufacturing Act of 2023

This bill establishes an $8 billion loan program to help U.S. manufacturers reestablish or expand facilities producing energy grid components like transformers, switchgear, and specialized wiring. It prioritizes projects reopening idle facilities or building new ones, with at least 5% of funds reserved for small manufacturers (under 500 employees). Loans require compliance with prevailing wage standards, have terms up to 20 years, and mandate annual reports tracking job creation, project status, and repayment. The program aims to boost domestic manufacturing of critical grid infrastructure components without specifying policy outcomes.
