The U.S. Dept. of Energy will sharply increase money available for state clean-energy infrastructure and systems projects, announcing $425 million in added funding available through the agency’s State Energy Program that now is provided by the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
In a call with reporters Aug. 26, Mitch Landrieu, White House senior advisor and infrastructure implementation coordinator, said the funding also supports related demonstration projects, energy workforce development and energy efficiency upgrades.
