Inflation Reduction Act

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-169) is the most significant legislation in U.S. history to tackle the climate crisis and strengthen American energy security. It will lower energy costs for households and businesses, create manufacturing jobs for American workers, and deliver a clean, secure, and healthy future for our children and grandchildren.

IRA Investments Dashboard

The Inflation Reduction Act Investments Dashboard features Bureau of Reclamation announced project selections for Fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024. Dashboard capabilities include:

Map of Projects
Filters are available on the top row to isolate IRA programs by attributes.

At the bottom of the page are multiple tabs to allow visibility of the announced, obligation and expenditure amounts for each IRA program.
There are multiple layers available for viewing by selecting the layer button. Layers are available for Justice40, Congressional Districts, and an overlay of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law projects.
