AI Summary
This bill, the Trees for Residential Energy and Economic Savings Act of 2023 (TREES Act of 2023), directs the Secretary of Energy to establish a grant program to facilitate tree planting projects that reduce residential energy consumption. The program will provide grants to eligible entities, including state and local government entities, Indian tribes, nonprofit organizations, and retail power providers, to cover up to 90% of the eligible 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 areas with low tree canopy cover and high percentages of senior citizens or children, and engage local communities. The bill authorizes $50 million per year for fiscal years 2024 through 2028 to support the program, with the goal of facilitating the planting of at least 300,000 trees each year.
