Equity in Clean Energy Policy Priorities
Description
A successful clean energy transition is dependent on advancing meaningful policy priorities like transmission and permitting reform, and the Inflation Reduction Act and Justice40—an initiative launched by the Biden administration that set the goal of ensuring that 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities—highlight the growing necessity to embed equity in clean energy policy and decision-making. Inclusive and early engagement with frontline communities to ensure economic benefits are equitably distributed will be a key part of success. How can customers and providers be a part of this process?
