Ranking Member Scott Applauds $11 Billion Investment in Rural Utilities and Electrification Programs
Press Release
Issues: Infrastructure Energy
"When House Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act last year, I was adamant that it include ample funding to help rural America embrace a clean energy future. By making $11 billion in Federal funding available to rural electric cooperatives and other power providers that have invested in clean energy production and storage, the Biden-Harris Administration is keeping its word to help lower energy costs in rural communities and transition to renewable energy sources. I thank Secretary Vilsack for ensuring this critical funding gets to the people and businesses that need it, and President Biden for his continued commitment to rural communities across the country."
