"Biden Administration Allocates $366 Million for Rural and Tribal Renewable Energy Projects"

The Biden-Harris Administration has allocated over $366 million to fund 17 clean energy projects in 20 states and 30 Tribal Nations and communities, aiming to enhance energy security and lower costs in rural and remote areas. These projects, supported by the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, include initiatives such as building microgrids for community health centers and constructing hydroelectric facilities on Tribal lands. The administration's focus on energy justice and environmental equity is evident in the selection of projects located in or near disadvantaged communities, addressing unique energy challenges faced by rural and remote areas. The projects cover a range of clean energy technologies and are part of the DOE’s Energy Improvements in Rural or Remote Areas program, reflecting the administration's commitment to a clean and equitable energy future for all Americans.
