The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) “powers” our energy savings!

On August 16th, 2022, President Biden signed the IRA into law; this landmark legislation creates a much better future for all Americans and our planet! The IRA supercharges the 2021 bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the 2022 bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, making critically important investments in America through upgrading our aging infrastructure, re-shoring our high-tech industry manufacturing, and investing in our clean energy economy. These laws focused on creating sustainable, union-based, prevailing- wage American jobs and apprenticeships, supporting the future of our families and communities.
