Overview

• The Biden administration announced $428 million in grants for 14 clean energy projects across 12 states, focusing on former coal-reliant communities.
• These projects are expected to generate over 1,900 jobs and attract an additional $500 million in private sector investment.
• Funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, targeting battery manufacturing, recycling plants, and other clean energy initiatives.
• Key projects include a $87 million investment in Pennsylvania for linear generator production and a $9.8 million battery-grade iron phosphate plant in West Virginia.
• The initiative is part of broader efforts to enhance energy security, modernize infrastructure, and reduce pollution in historically coal-dependent regions.
