We were named in April, but today, on the two year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act being signed into law as the biggest climate investment in history, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially awarded our Power Forward Communities coalition a $2 billion National Clean Investment Fund grant alongside our coalition members Habitat for Humanity International, Enterprise Community Partners, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and United Way. As part of this coalition working on single-family homes and apartments, especially in low-income and disadvantaged communities, Rewiring America will be announcing local community partnerships in the coming months. We're excited to have these resources to help shape the market, draw in private investment to this work, and for families, help make going electric easier! Read the press release here:

“When you look at industry data overall, you can see that heat pumps are outpacing fossil fuel alternatives for the last two years, and that the gap is widening. Households are moving toward an electric future.” We took a deeper look at the 2023 uptake of the clean energy tax credits and found that for rooftop solar and heat pump water heaters, it matched or surpassed Rewiring America's "Electric Potential" benchmark — the incentive uptake expected if we are to meet our climate goals by 2050. Our very own Ari Matusiak spoke with CNN about the runaway success of the Inflation Reduction Act’s home upgrade incentives since the landmark climate law was signed two years ago: https://lnkd.in/gNGmPSYq And check out our Electric Potential report: https://lnkd.in/gnXkWpjv

Nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked People will remember: - how much you talked about heat pumps -whether or not you took advantage of IRA incentives for sealing & insulation -how even when they changed the subject, you brought it back to heat pumps

This week I joined Congressman Salud Carbajal, Rincon Plumbing, Rewiring America, Community Environmental Council (CEC) 🌍 California Environmental Nonprofit and more to celebrate new heat pumps one of my neighbor's home in Santa Barbara. This was made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act's tax credits! Heat pumps for all! ⚡ 🎉

Founder and CEO, Rewiring America. Founding Partner, Purpose Venture Group. Former Obama White House. Focused on climate and economic inequality, and having a positive impact on both.
In policy as in life, it’s important to count the receipts. When it comes to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its impact on the kitchen table decisions that tie to 42 percent of energy-related emissions, the initial receipts are in. Today, the Treasury Department released data showing that 3.4 million American families took advantage of the tax credits on clean energy and energy efficiency home upgrades last year. Not only are these tax credits good for the planet, they are good for the pocketbooks of the millions of Americans who found out about the money in their electric bank accounts from the IRA through tools like Rewiring America’s incentive calculator. (https://lnkd.in/gRyK8g_c) The kitchen table decisions that the IRA supports include how we heat our air and water, cook our food, dry our clothes, get around, and source our electricity. According to the Treasury, over 750,000 families used IRA tax credits to get rooftop solar systems — systems Rewiring America calculates will save an average of $1,550 / year on their power bills. More than 300,000 households got heat pumps to heat and cool their homes and more than 100,000 purchased heat pump water heaters. That’s more than $8 billion to American families, unlocking billions of dollars more in annual bill savings. The IRA is one of the most significant anti-inflationary policies for families in American history. And this is just the beginning. The 2023 uptake of clean energy tax credits for rooftop solar and heat pump water heaters matched Rewiring America's "Electric Potential" benchmark — the incentive uptake expected if we are to meet our climate goals by 2050. (https://lnkd.in/gw5yhtXZ) The 2023 uptake of the heat pump tax credit lags behind that benchmark, but sales of heat pumps are outstripping fossil fuel machines now. And with the IRA-funded electrification rebates coming online the rate of heat pump adoption will continue to accelerate. Oh, and with the Energy Department’s announcement today of Defense Production Act awards for domestic heat pump manufacturing, in the years ahead, the heat pumps (and rooftop solar) we buy will be made right here in the U.S.A. (https://lnkd.in/gCMuh8ES) I’m grateful to the U.S. Treasury for being transparent with the data on this generational, future-securing investment for our communities. Rewiring America looks forward to continuing to count those receipts. #rewiringamerica #electrifyeverything
