Federal Legislation and the Future of American Infrastructure
The year 2020 marks historic progress in federal funding and programs to rebuild U.S. infrastructure. In particular, the $1.2T Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will grant programs to boost the resilience of our electricity system and fund new, necessary electric transmission infrastructure.
In this roundtable discussion, Urbint Vice President of Strategy and Policy Mishal Thadani is joined by representatives from the Edison Electric Institute and American Electric Power to discuss the impact of the legislation, how utilities can best prepare themselves to apply for funding, and what we can learn from past grant programs to maximize consumer benefit.
