Description (excerpt):
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) directs over $722 million specifically to Tribal and Indigenous communities and includes another $46 billion that Tribal and Indigenous communities are eligible to apply for. For electrification, the IRA makes available over $35 billion in resources to Tribal and Indigenous communities, if they take full advantage of all the money in the IRA. This brief outlines the IRA provisions designated to help Tribal and Indigenous communities lower their energy costs, transform their energy systems and reduce pollution through efficient, beneficial electrification.
