Congress Fully Funds ENERGY STAR at $33M for FY2026

The fiscal year 2026 federal appropriations bill includes a provision mandating that the administration provide at least $33 million to fund the EPA's ENERGY STAR program through September 30, 2026. The amount is a modest increase over the $32 million provided in FY2024. The provision also directs the administration not to take actions to reduce the funding level.
