Biden-Harris Admin to Invest $7.3B in Rural Clean Energy Projects Across 23 States


President Joe Biden announced $7.3 billion in financing for 16 rural clean energy projects across 23 states.

“The Inflation Reduction Act makes the largest investment in rural electrification since FDR and the New Deal in the 1930s,” said John Podesta, President Joe Biden’s senior advisor for international climate policy, in the press release. “Under the Biden-Harris Administration, we are supporting a more prosperous future for rural communities by speeding up the transition to clean energy while at the same time keeping monthly bills low and investing in the American workforce with new jobs and apprenticeships,” said USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack in the press release. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; housing; community facilities such as schools, public safety and healthcare; and high-speed internet access in rural, Tribal and high-poverty areas,” the press release said.
