Inflation Reduction Act Guidebook & Updates
Big investments are flowing from the federal government into communities to speed the renewable energy transition and electrification of our country. It’s exciting—and a lot to keep track of. The White House’s helpful guidebook details tax incentives and grants, and programs for climate mitigation and resilience, agriculture, and conservation in the Inflation Reduction Act. It includes who is eligible to apply, and for what purpose. You can also sign up for updates on clean and renewable energy from the White House.
