Support for Clean Energy Manufacturing in Coal Communities

This act establishes a grant program for small and medium-sized manufacturing firms to develop clean energy technologies or reduce emissions. Grants are specifically for companies operating in communities affected by coal mine closures or coal-fired power plant retirements. The goal is to create new jobs and support local economies in these regions.
Key points
Companies producing solar, wind, geothermal, energy storage equipment, electric vehicles, or emission-reducing technologies can apply for grants.
Grants are available for small and medium-sized firms (sales under $100M, fewer than 500 employees) located in areas where coal mines or power plants have closed.
The program aims to create new jobs, especially for dislocated workers from the coal industry, and foster technological innovation.
All projects funded by these grants must pay workers no less than prevailing local wages.
