ENERGY STAR Funded at $33M in FY2026 Federal Deal

Congressional appropriators have reached a bipartisan agreement to fund the ENERGY STAR program at $33 million for FY2026, the first time it has received its own dedicated line item in a federal budget bill. The House has already passed the bill; the Senate faces a January 30, 2026 deadline to finalize spending and avoid a government shutdown. If passed unchanged, the funding would keep ENERGY STAR at levels consistent with prior years.
