2023 NH Energy Week: Investing in Resiliency

Together, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are an estimated $984 billion package in federal funding. Funding from the BIL will be used for water, resilience, the energy grid, climate and clean energy investments, and transmission and grid updates. With an additional $369 billion from the IRA to invest in clean energy and climate that will be delivered to the states in the next five to ten years to facilitate the energy transition. The IRA, in particular, provides a historic investment in clean energy, containing various tax incentives and rebates, and loans and grants to improve energy efficiency and climate resiliency.

How will this funding impact consumers, businesses, and municipalities? What considerations have been made for our most vulnerable people and communities? How will the transportation sector be impacted as it continues to build the infrastructure for electric and alternative fuel vehicles?

With the overwhelming amount of information from both pieces of legislation, we're bringing together individuals that are working in New Hampshire to provide you with a better understanding of which programs and opportunities are available to you as we work to build a more resilient energy future.
