House Republicans’ $59.2 billion fiscal 2025 Energy-Water spending bill released Thursday features severe cuts to some of the Biden administration’s pivotal clean energy programs.
The bill also has partisan riders, including one targeting the Biden administration’s controversial liquefied natural gas export review pause.
The top-line funding for the Department of Energy, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation represents an increase of about $1 billion from enacted fiscal 2024 levels.

DOE, however, would receive an across-the-board cut at $49.9 billion, which is around $325 million below current levels and around $2 billion below the president’s 2025 budget request.
