The Inflation Reduction Act included key incentive programs, such as the Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit Program and the Energy Community Tax Credit Bonus, that sought to spur clean energy development in frontline communities. Our expert panelists will discuss the status of those programs one and a half years later, and the current opportunities and challenges for clean energy developers and environmental justice communities. What are the recent trends in developing clean energy projects within these communities? What difficulties have arisen with new projects, and how can they be overcome? Speakers will address these questions and more.

Last week, AFP Foundation sent a letter to the House Committee on Natural Resources detailing how the new NEPA rule “flips NEPA’s procedural focus on its head by transforming it into a substantive, results-oriented mandate” furthering the Administration’s eco-agenda." https://lnkd.in/eGihtszb The House Committee on Natural Resources held an oversight hearing on May 16 titled “Examining the Council on Environmental Quality Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Request and Related Policy Matters.”  CEQ Chairwoman Brenda Mallory testified before the full committee. These new regulatory requirements for environmental reviews will most certainly not help to streamline the process as Congress intended. AFP Foundation’s letter states that these changes invite “arbitrary and capricious agency decisionmaking by directing agencies to consider factors Congress could not have intended for them to consider.” Energy prices have increased significantly under the Bidenomics agenda. CEQ’s failure to faithfully implement statutory measures meant to expedite the development of energy-producing projects is a continuation of this Adminstration’s policies driving up energy costs for Americans.
