Taking Advantage of Federal Funds: Local Energy Efficiency Policies and Programs to Consider

With the passage of the American Rescue Plan Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, local governments have an opportunity to take advantage of new federal funding to advance energy efficiency policies and programs in their communities. Using the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy’s (ACEEE) Ready to Go Toolkit and Mayor’s Toolkit, this webinar will outline leading energy efficiency programs that communities can learn from and consider replicating as they think about leveraging federal funding. ACEEE will highlight examples of high-impact local energy efficiency programs that promote building energy efficiency, transportation efficiency, and energy equity. Attendees will also hear highlights of how local governments can use funding to reduce energy burdens for low-income households.
