Formula funding is available to energy communities through ongoing appropriations, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Formula funding is when the federal government allocates funds to a state agency or tribal entity which then has authority to re-allocate or award them to eligible groups and uses. The below database features billions of dollars in existing formula funding sources.
You can find the full list of all federal funding relevant to energy communities in our centralized clearinghouse. Energy communities interested in formula funding can also reach out to their state or Tribal government officials to learn more.

The IIJA and IRA provisions currently listed are intended to describe the direction and amount of future funding opportunities relevant to energy communities. One IIJA or IRA provision can result in multiple IIJA or IRA funding opportunities. To avoid double counting of IIJA or IRA funding, when a IIJA or IRA funding opportunity is posted, the value of the associated IIJA or IRA provision is reduced by the amount of the newly released funding opportunity.
