SUMMARY:Capitalizing on Climate Cash: State Strategies for Leveraging Federal Funding
DESCRIPTION:With hundreds of billions of climate dollars unlocked by recent federal funding initiatives\, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, states must be prepared to receive and leverage their money for climate and clean energy plans\, projects\, and programs. Many states across the country have already introduced and even passed legislation to create or strengthen state and local funding bodies and initiatives for this purpose\, using various methods\, from statewide green banks to specific federal matching funds and more.  \n\n\n\nTo explore the approaches some states have taken\, Climate XChange invited a panel of experts\, including: \n\n\n\n\nFresh Energy’s Anjali Bains\, Lead Director of Energy Access and Equity \n\n\n\nNevada Clean Energy Fund‘s Kirsten Stasio\, Chief Executive Officer\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister for this FREE virtual event!

SUMMARY:Alternative Fuel Corridor Public Engagement Meetings
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Office of Sustainability & Public Health will host in-person conversations about the next round of nominating roads as Alternative Fuel Corridors. They are seeking input from interested members of the community on the future corridors and would like your perspective! No registration is required to attend\, and the same agenda will be used in all locations. \n\n\n\nMnDOT invites and encourages participation by all. If you need an ASL\, a foreign language interpreter\, documents in an alternative format (such as braille\, large print or in a different language)\, or another reasonable accommodation for this email or event\, please email your request to Janet Miller at ADArequest.dot@state.mn.us or call 651-366-4720. \n\n\n\nGet the details!\n\n\n\nBackground\n\n\n\nThe U.S. DOT Alternative Fuel Corridor Nominations process started under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST) Act in 2015 and was modified a bit under the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Minnesota currently has two roads designated as Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFC) for Electric Vehicles – I-94 and I-35. This designation is important in determining how some of the federal IIJA funds can be spent on charging stations\, the numbers\, type\, etc. \n\n\n\nRound 6 of nominations happened in February – May 2022 with a focus on DC Fast Chargers and Interstates. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has not released the criteria for the upcoming Round 7 yet\, but it is anticipated in the first half of 2023. \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\nReview of the MN Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan status\n\n\n\nDiscuss pros and cons of designating additional roads as AFCs\n\n\n\nUnderstand the capacity and interest of communities and utilities in various levels of EV charging.\n\n\n\n\nLocations\, Dates\, and Times\n\n\n\n\nApril 14: 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. Location at MnDOT Rochester Headquarters\, 2900 48th Street NW\, Rochester\, MN 55901-5848\n\n\n\nApril 27: 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Location at MnDOT Duluth Headquarters\, 1123 Mesaba Ave.\, Duluth\, MN 55811\n\n\n\nMay 3: 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Location at Windom Community Center\, 1750 Cottonwood Lake Dr.\, Windom\, MN 56101\n\n\n\nMay 11: 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. Location at MnDOT Baxter Headquarters\,7694 Industrial Park Road\, Baxter\, MN 56425-8096\n\n\n\nMay 11: 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Location at MnDOT Bemidji Headquarters\, 3920 Highway 2 West\, Bemidji\, MN 56601

SUMMARY:Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) Low-Income Workshop #3
DESCRIPTION:For the third meeting in our Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) “Low-Income”+ Workshop series\, participants heard from experts on the topics of efficient fuel-switching\, financial incentives for utilities\, and pre-weatherization measures\, with time for discussion on each topic afterward. Slides can be downloaded here and a partial recording of the meeting is above (the recording begins during the discussion portion after the first topic presentation\, fuel switching): \n\n\n\nAs a reminder\, these meetings are being organized by the MN Department of Commerce and the MN Energy Efficiency for All coalition\, to provide a space for participants across the energy efficiency ecosystem in Minnesota to learn about and provide input to investor-owned utilities’ 3-year energy efficiency planning for under-resourced customers (CIP “Low-Income” programs)\, which is currently underway. \n\n\n\nMeeting #3 concludes the broad topics portion of these workshops\, with the remaining two meetings focused on providing specific feedback to utilities’ CIP “Low Income” draft plans. \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:The IRA and You: Consumers\, Decarbonization\, and the IRA
DESCRIPTION:The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is the largest investment in climate action in U.S. history that will result in 1 billion metric tons of annual emissions reductions by 2030. And you\, the American consumer\, have a huge role to play.  \n\n\n\nJoin West Metro Climate Action and West Metro Climate Hub on January 26 at 6:30 p.m. for a conversation about the Inflation Reduction Act. The presentation will be given by Fresh Energy’s Anjali Bains and Eric Fowler.
