Clean Energy Investment Hub

Federal funding can give an important boost to local climate solutions and policies. But with shifting federal priorities, states, cities, businesses, and nonprofits need to be able to take the lead in securing and deploying funding to meet their climate goals.

This resource page serves as a hub for the latest guidance and opportunities that will help subnational institutions and leaders navigate both federal and state funding streams to continue to drive climate action.

WHAT WE KNOW

Our coalition is ready to ensure homegrown clean energy thrives, communities get the investments they need, and families see lower energy costs, more jobs, and cleaner air and water.

We've been here before. When the U.S. withdrew from the Paris Agreement in 2017, we took action. Since then, we've driven climate progress that strengthened economies across the country. Today, our coalition represents two-thirds of the U.S. population and three-quarters of the nation's GDP. With momentum at the state, local, and sectoral levels, we're more prepared than ever to keep the clean energy transition moving forward. 

 

 

WHERE WE GO FROM HERE

We are defending the progress we've made, reassuring the world that the U.S. is still committed to climate action, and accelerating solutions where they matter most - in states, cities, businesses, and communities.

Investing in the strength of America's communities. 

Showcasing the real-world progress happening every day.

Delivering lower energy bills, job growth, and clean, affordable energy.

We aren't walking away. We're marching ahead.
