In addition to amounts otherwise available, there is appropriated to the Secretary of Energy for fiscal year 2022, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $17,500,000,000, to remain available until expended (except that no funds shall be disbursed after September 30, 2031), to provide grants to agencies to assist them in meeting the requirements of section 543 of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act ( 42 U.S.C. 8253 ) or to assist agencies in reducing the carbon emissions of new or existing Federal buildings and Federal fleets. The Secretary shall use the funds made available pursuant to subsection
(a)to provide grants to agencies pursuant to section 546(b) of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act ( 42 U.S.C. 8256(b) ), and to establish a program to provide competitive grants to agencies, to carry out projects for onsite or offsite measures that— are applied to or serve a Federal building or Federal fleet; and involve energy conservation, cogeneration facilities, renewable energy sources, low carbon materials, improvements in operations and maintenance efficiencies, retrofit activities, automotive supply equipment, building electrification, energy storage devices, energy consuming devices and required support structures, or carbon-pollution free electricity. In providing grants under subsection (b), the Secretary may consider— the cost-effectiveness of the project; the extent to which a project promotes the integration of clean energy, carbon pollution-free electricity, low carbon materials, automotive supply equipment, and such other onsite or offsite measures as the Secretary determines to be appropriate; the amount of energy and cost savings anticipated to the Federal Government; the amount of funding committed to the project by the agency requesting the grant; the extent that a proposal leverages financing from other non-Federal sources; and any other factor which the Secretary determines is in furtherance of this section. In this section: The term automotive supply equipment means any conductors, including ungrounded, grounded, and equipment grounding conductors, electric vehicle connectors, attachment plugs, and all other fittings, devices, power outlets, electrical equipment, or apparatuses installed specifically for the purpose of delivering energy to an electric vehicle or to a battery intended to be used in an electric vehicle. The term low carbon material means any material for which the quantity of greenhouse gases (measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent) emitted to the atmosphere by the manufacture, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of the material is significantly lower than such quantity for another, similar material, as measured and reported in an environmental product declaration.
