Investment provided to the Appalachian Hydrogen Hub to advance the commercial-scale deployment of low-cost, clean hydrogen. In addition, the investment will create 21,000 jobs for West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Funding for Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO), granted through the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships Program to boost electric service reliability for more than 800K residents. The investment will create 200 new jobs.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) investment to advance the development of two commercial-scale direct air capture facilities in Texas and Louisiana. These projects represent the initial selections from the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law-funded Regional Direct Air Capture (DAC) Hubs program, which aims to kickstart a nationwide network of large-scale carbon removal sites to address legacy carbon dioxide pollution and complement rapid emissions reductions. Together, these projects are expected to remove more than 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions each year from the atmosphere—an amount equivalent to the annual emissions from roughly 445,000 gasoline-powered cars—and create 4,800 good-paying jobs in Texas and Louisiana.

Funds available through the Renew America’s Schools Grant that K-12 schools across America can utilize to lower energy costs and create healthier, safer learning environments.

Investment for setting up domestic heat pump manufacturing capabilities within the US and creating 1,700+ jobs in disadvantaged communities. In Kentucky, Mitsubishi Electric Trane will receive $50 million of this funding to produce high-efficiency heat pump compressors.

Funding available through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program to 28 state, local, and Tribal governments. Funds will be deployed to improve energy efficiency and advance crucial clean energy and infrastructure upgrades in public and private spaces, including hospitals, homes, manufactured housing parks, and government buildings.

Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Economic Impact and Diversity (ED) to Black Owners of Solar Services (BOSS) - the largest community of experienced African American energy professionals working in the solar photovoltaic space. The grant aims to establish a regional effort to coordinate and train minority-owned businesses on how to apply for funding and access opportunities and programs led by DOE.

Grants available for state-based home energy efficiency contractor training programs to reduce the cost of training, testing, and certifying residential energy efficiency and electrification contractors.

Investments available in competitive awards to help states, cities, tribes, and partnering organizations implement updated energy codes for buildings. Funded by the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, these awards will support 27 projects across 26 states and the District of Columbia to ensure buildings meet the latest standards for energy efficiency — which could save Americans $138B on their utility bills.

Funding the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will provide for 7 projects that will help strengthen clean energy supply chains and hasten domestic clean energy manufacturing. Among the projects are retrofit and expansion plans for Alpen High-Performance Products Inc. and LuxWall Inc. The selected projects include small and medium-sized manufacturers that can help ramp up production of technologies, such as insulating windows and wind turbines, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and strengthen energy independence.

Investment by DOE earmarked for 12 projects in more than 13 states for to launch training partnerships that expand the solar energy workforce in underserved and underrepresented communities, as well as create career pathways with thousands of good-paying jobs. The U.S. Energy and Employment Report found that while the solar industry is more diverse than some other energy industries, the overall energy workforce lags in Hispanic (17%), Black (8%), and Indigenous worker (1%) representation. With solar power potentially contributing up to one third of the U.S. electricity supply, there is a need for more equity and inclusivity in the industry. The Advancing Equity through Workforce Partnerships Funding Program selections address the need for diversity and inclusion. The selectees include partners from industry, tribal organizations, unions, community colleges, and state and local governments.
