Reinvesting in Clean Energy Infrastructure

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) marks one of the greatest investments in clean energy in U.S. history. As part of the $369 billion investment to promote domestic energy production and manufacturing, the IRA established the Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment (EIR) Program under the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office and appropriated $5 billion to help fund certain clean energy and carbon reduction projects through fiscal year 2026.

On this episode, Jigar Shah, director of DOE’s Loan Programs Office, which oversees the EIR, and Emily Fisher, EEI Executive Vice President of Clean Energy and General Counsel, discuss this program and explain how it can help our industry accelerate its transition to cleaner energy sources while helping to minimize the cost impacts on customers.
