2Project management and oversight reporting requirements
This section would amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act by adding a new reporting requirement for the clean energy demonstration program run under section 41201 of that Act. It would require the Secretary of Energy, no later than six months after this paragraph becomes law and at least every six months after that, to submit a report to four congressional committees: the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, the House Committee on Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, and the Senate Committee on Appropriations. The Secretary would also have to make the report publicly available online in digital format. For the period covered, and for each covered project or other demonstration project the program administers or supports, the report would have to include a copy of any initial contracts or financial assistance agreements executed between the Department of Energy and an award recipient, along with any related documentation the Secretary decides is appropriate; a list of material, technical, or financial milestones that have or have not been met; and any material changes to the project's scope, schedule, funding profile (including cost-share requirements), project partners or participating entities, or budget. Where practicable, the Secretary could combine these new reports with other reports already required, including the reports required under the existing paragraph (1) of this subsection and the reports required under section 9005(e) of the Energy Act of 2020.
