EEI 2022 IIJA and Justice40: A Generational Transformation

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and Justice40 Executive Order together present a historic opportunity to accelerate the drive to clean energy and grid resilience, promote economic opportunity in disadvantaged communities, and support diversity, equity, and inclusion. More than $100 billion has been allocated to energy and broadband investments, with 40 percent of the overall benefits focused on disadvantaged communities. Panelists will discuss the new federal infrastructure funding and will offer ideas on what successful IIJA and Justice40 implementation looks like and ensuring that investments create direct value and economic opportunity in communities, support an inclusive workforce, address disproportionate energy burdens, and leverage public-private collaboration.
