WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration said on Thursday it will audit some $15 billion in grants to power grid and manufacturing supply chain projects awarded during the Biden administration.
President Donald Trump has championed domestic production of oil, natural gas and coal while halting construction of an offshore wind farm and taking steps to ease regulations on fossil fuels. The Republican Trump administration last week proposed cutting billions of dollars in funding for projects including renewable energy and electric car chargers.
The DOE "has been hard at work reviewing the billions of dollars that were rushed out the door, particularly in the final days of the Biden administration, and what we have found is concerning," Energy Secretary Chris Wright said.
Democratic former President Joe Biden's Energy Department awarded billions of dollars in grants from the offices of grid deployment and manufacturing and energy supply chains.
