CHARGE Act of 2025
The CHARGE Act of 2025 establishes a $50 million annual grant program (2026-2030) to fund solar energy systems and energy storage technologies at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Eligible recipients - including FQHCs, state/local governments, or nonprofits representing FQHCs - can use grants to install renewable energy systems or receive technical assistance for their design and operation. The program, administered by the Department of Energy, directly supports community health centers in improving energy resilience and reducing operating costs. It specifically targets FQHCs serving underserved populations, as defined under the Social Security Act.
