DOE Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to $450 million from the U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) - also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) -  to advance clean energy demonstration projects on current and former mine lands. Deploying clean energy projects in mining communities across the nation is key to strengthening rural economies, creating new, good-paying jobs, and reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions that jeopardise public health and pollute local ecosystems. 
The funding also builds on the more than $14 billion whole-of-government effort by President Biden’s Interagency Working Group on Coal and Power Plant Communities to deliver new economic opportunities to communities hit hardest by our evolving energy landscape.
