The Clean Energy Victory Bond Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of the Treasury to issue Clean Energy Victory Bonds , allowing the public to invest in national clean energy initiatives. These bonds, structured as Series EE savings bonds, will be available in denominations of $25 and higher, with an annual aggregate face amount not exceeding $50 billion . They will offer interest based on standard savings bond rates plus a return linked to federal energy savings and interest from financed loans, and are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Proceeds from these bonds will establish and fund the Clean Energy Victory Bonds Trust Fund , which will finance a broad array of clean energy projects and energy efficiency improvements without further appropriation. Eligible projects span federal, state, and local levels, encompassing investments in renewable energy sources like solar and wind, advanced storage, electric vehicle infrastructure, and grid enhancements. The fund will also support building renovations, new energy-efficient construction, tax incentives, and innovative research. A key provision mandates that at least 40 percent of the Trust Fund's annual expenditures must be allocated to clean energy projects within disadvantaged and vulnerable communities . These communities are defined as those bearing disproportionate burdens of environmental pollution or climate change impacts, or having significant representation of people of color, low-wealth individuals, or Tribal members. This ensures targeted investment to reduce energy rates and promote equitable access to clean energy benefits.
Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committees on Energy and Commerce, and Science, Space, and Technology, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
