September marks almost two years since the passage of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and roughly one year since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). These two laws contain historic amounts of federal funding for infrastructure and clean energy, millions of which has already gone towards a range of climate projects throughout the United States. This brief provides a snapshot of how IIJA and IRA funding has been distributed thus far, and is based largely on data tracked in the Climate Program Portal’s (CPP) Outcomes Dashboard, which was last updated with data collected through August 29, 2023.
Note: This Brief was updated September 20th, 2023, with RAISE project data from FY2023 and recently announced location data for existing awards.
