IIJA IRA

IIJA and IRA Funding and Activation

Leveraging Bipartisan Infrastructure funding to propel energy transition.

Sustainability Initiatives Without Financial Strain

The Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) brings welcome news for Energy and Utility companies. With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), commonly known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), coupled with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), companies are witnessing the largest energy-related investment in US history. 

This presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to receive significant cash flow for energy transition programs, without the financial pressures that discourage and distract from making progress on sustainability or clean energy initiatives.

You can draw on our decades of experience in managing end-to-end transformation across multiple industries, including grant writing and federal funding management in the public sector. 

With our wide network and industry expertise, we are uniquely positioned to help you navigate this complex environment, secure IRA and IIJA funding, prioritize grid infrastructure, technology, or other programs, and successfully manage them to completion.

Create Momentum in Your Energy Transition

Tap into IIJA or IRA government funding. Not only will you receive financial backing for decarbonizing your operations, strengthening your grid infrastructure, enabling grid resilience, and developing renewable energies (such as solar, hydrogen, wind, or others), you'll also solidify your first-mover advantage. This can be a significant milestone on your journey towards innovation and efficiency.
