The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provides funding to address some of the top energy priorities of Michigan policymakers, such as ensuring a reliable electric grid, lowering energy bills, and supporting advanced energy jobs. As a result of the IIJA, Michigan state and local government agencies will be able to access billions of dollars in funding to jumpstart a variety of advanced energy projects.
The state should develop a cohesive, long-term strategy that identifies clear goals and strategic objectives. This document attempts to support that by outlining key federal funding streams from the IIJA for supporting the advanced energy priorities outlined above, as well as information about how to access the funds and relevant complementary existing Michigan programs.
