AI Summary
This bill, the Trees for Residential Energy and Economic Savings Act of 2021 (TREES Act of 2021), directs the Secretary of Energy to establish a grant program to facilitate tree planting projects that reduce residential energy consumption. The program will award grants to eligible entities, such as state and local governments, Indian tribes, nonprofits, and retail power providers, to cover up to 90% of the costs of these tree planting projects. The Secretary is required to prioritize projects that provide the largest potential reduction in energy consumption for households with high energy burdens, maximize shade and wind protection, are located in neighborhoods with low tree canopy cover or high percentages of seniors and children, and engage the local community. The bill authorizes $50 million per year for fiscal years 2022 through 2026 to support the program's goal of planting at least 300,000 trees annually.
