$1.8 million for clean energy projects coming to Nevada

WASHINGTON D.C. (KOLO) – Nearly $1.8 million for clean energy projects will be coming to the state of Nevada.

The funds come from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and are awarded to the Silver State to provide grants to local governments for clean energy projects.

U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, who voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2021, had this to say about the funds:

“As Nevada continues to experience the effects of the climate crisis, it’s critical that we invest in clean energy projects that reduce our emissions and lower energy costs for Nevadans,” said Senator Rosen. “I was proud to secure this funding to increase energy efficiency in our state and create clean energy jobs thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I helped write and pass. I’ll always fight to deliver federal investments for our state’s booming clean energy economy.”

“Nevada is paving the path to our country’s clean energy future, and this grant will help us grow our clean energy economy,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “I will continue working to support energy efficiency, bring down costs for Nevada families, and combat climate change.”
