The Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) released updated program guidance for the Title 17 Energy Financing Program on May 13, 2026. The guidance implements the energy financing provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), reflecting a reorientation of program priorities. For developers of energy, mining, critical minerals, and critical materials projects, several provisions are relevant, particularly regarding the restructured Energy Dominance Financing Program (EDFP), the broadening (and, in some cases, narrowing) of energy infrastructure eligible for DOE financing, and other terms with cost and timing consequences.
