Mike Levin (CA-49) and Rep. Sean Casten (IL-06) and 162 of his colleagues in sending a letter to Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright condemning the termination of $8 billion of projects that were set to lower electricity costs for Americans and increase grid reliability. New Hampshire will lose more than $16 million in funding as a result of the cuts. The lawmakers demanded that DOE immediately reinstate the projects. Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander (NH-02) also signed this letter. “The projects that the Department of Energy (DOE) has unilaterally decided to cancel were driving down costs for all our constituents—regardless of their political affiliation,” the lawmakers wrote. “Household electric bills have already increased 10% nationally since January 2025 and are poised to spike even further. This Administration’s reckless energy policy and award terminations, designed to stifle the development of cheap, clean energy and prop up more expensive dirty energy, will only further increase the cost burden for families to keep the lights on.” The letter can be found here. Background: On October 2nd, DOE announced it would terminate 321 financial awards supporting 223 projects, in 136 Congressional districts, including 108 represented by Democrats and 28 represented by Republicans, accounting for approximately $8 billion. The terminated projects were intended to lower energy costs for consumers, improve grid reliability, create jobs, and strengthen the United States' global leadership in energy innovation. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
