Tracking Federal Energy Policy – BIL (Hawaii: State Of Clean Energy)
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Adam Strubeck.
The discussion introduces the Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) that provides for $550 Billion in new federal investment in America’s infrastructure and what its benefits could be for Hawaii. It also projects to add 2 million jobs per year nationally over the next decade. This legislation provides a combination of grants and loans to support reliability and resilience of the electrical grid, domestic clean energy supply chains, and develop new energy technology. Projected spending for Hawaii includes $1.5 billion over 5 years for highways and bridges, $100 million for high-speed internet coverage, $316 million for public transport, and $18 million for electric vehicle charging. HNEI has distilled out the major highlights from the bill to make it easier to follow and has included a user-friendly summary on the HNEI Hawaii Energy Policy Forum Website.
