State Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2024

This bill creates a federal program to help states and tribes fund energy efficiency and emissions reduction projects for manufacturers. It provides $100 million annually (2025-2029) to states with approved energy plans and tribes, enabling them to offer manufacturers free energy studies, technical assistance, and grants to implement upgrades like advanced manufacturing tech, renewable systems, and water/energy-saving measures. Small manufacturers (under 500 employees) and tribal businesses in Indian Country receive priority, with strict rules limiting funds - capping per-facility support at $100,000 or 5% of state funds, and requiring 50% for studies/implementation. The program supplements existing funding, tracks program results, and mandates public reporting on energy savings and emissions reductions.
