DOE Unveils $40M For Electricity, Weatherization In Low-Income Communities

"The Biden administration on Friday announced more than $40 million in funds toward weatherization and electrification of low-income areas.

“This investment addresses a critical gap in federal assistance, and it’s just the latest action this administration is taking the lower energy costs for working families,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said on a call with reporters Friday.

The bipartisan infrastructure law, which President Biden signed in November 2021, included $3.5 billion toward the department’s Weatherization Assistance Program, which Granholm described as an increase of more than 10 times what the program typically spends over the course of a year."
