HR 9064 United States House · 118th Congress

Energy Storage for Resilient Homes Act

This bill creates a new FEMA program to fund home energy storage systems (like batteries) for single-family homes affected by disasters. It directs FEMA to provide financial assistance under existing disaster relief laws for qualifying home energy storage systems installed in eligible single-residence structures. Eligible homes include single-family houses or units where less than 50% of the space is non-residential (e.g., a home in a duplex or small apartment building). FEMA must ensure projects are cost-effective for disaster resilience, and the program defines "home energy storage" as systems storing electricity for later use in residential settings. It directly affects homeowners seeking to improve power reliability after disasters.
