The U.S. Department of Energy has announced funding for a variety of programs this month under President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda.
The department stated that $3.5 billion is available under the Infrastructure Law “to boost domestic production of advanced batteries and battery materials nationwide.“
During National Apprenticeship Week, the department announced a combined $40.8 million for training and assessment centers “to expand training opportunities for in-demand, high-quality jobs while identifying opportunities for organizations to save energy, improve productivity, and reduce waste.“
The department selected nine projects to receive a total of $169 million to accelerate electric heat pump manufacturing at 15 sites across the country. Officials also announced $42 million for 15 projects across 11 states to improve the reliability, resiliency, and flexibility of the domestic power grid through the development of next-generation semiconductor technologies.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For discernment for U.S. energy officials as they support projects involving electricity and the U.S. power grid.
- For Secretary Granholm to seek God’s direction as she oversees the Energy Department.
- For the president and his administration as they determine funding for energy programs.
