The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said on Oct. 2 that it had terminated 321 federal grants funding 223 projects, amounting to about $7.56 billion in cuts.

Under the leadership of Energy Secretary Chris Wright, the department conducted a review of its federal grants to identify project plans that are “not economically viable” and do “not adequately advance the nation’s energy needs,” the DOE said in a statement.
