Senator Elizabeth Warren introduces S. 5651: National Institutes of Clean Energy Act of 2026

We have received text from S. 5651: National Institutes of Clean Energy Act of 2026. This bill was received on 2026-09-30, and currently has 3 cosponsors.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would create a new federal agency within the Department of Energy called the National Institutes of Clean Energy , to be established by January 1, 2030.

What the new agency would do

The agency would focus on clean energy, climate science, and related research and development. Its stated goals include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, using less water and material resources, and lowering environmental and health harms in communities that are already heavily affected by pollution and climate change.

It would support research and demonstration projects in areas such as:

• Microgrids
• Energy storage
• Electric vehicles
• Advanced energy technologies for harder-to-decarbonize sectors, such as aviation and shipping
• Long-duration grid storage and other clean energy areas that the bill says are underfunded today

The bill also says the agency should fund projects that study how energy production affects frontline communities, including low-income communities and communities of color, as well as how clean energy policies affect job loss, job creation, and workforce development.

Who would get priority

When choosing projects, the agency would give priority to technologies and research that:

• Reduce environmental harm or public health impacts in disadvantaged communities
• Improve public health in those communities
• Create high-quality jobs with strong labor standards
• Advance clean energy technology and climate science
• Are carried out at public universities, land-grant colleges, minority-serving institutions, and related consortia
• Are located in places that have experienced major job losses, including rural and deindustrialized areas

How the bill defines clean energy

The bill defines “renewable energy source” broadly to include solar, wind, ocean energy, geothermal, certain hydroelectric additions or upgrades, renewable hydrogen, and thermal energy generated from those sources.

It also defines “advanced energy technology” as technology that lowers emissions efficiently, uses fewer resources, supports renewable energy, and reduces harms to vulnerable communities.

Funding

The bill authorizes $400 billion in funding over fiscal years 2027 through 2036 to establish and run the new institutes.
