The investigation aims to ensure the cancellations followed established criteria and complied with laws and policies. Democrats argue the cuts were politically motivated and could harm the electric grid, jobs, and energy costs. The Energy Department terminated 321 funding awards across 223 projects, citing inadequate advancement of national energy needs, economic viability, or positive return on investment.
