WASHINGTON, DC – Rural and remote communities looking for a new industry are encouraged to look at a new program authorized by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and implemented by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Kate Gordon is a Senior Advisor to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. She explains that the law authorizes assistance for energy demonstration dollars towards projects to reduce energy costs, improve transmission, and even determine the feasibility of micro-reactors, small modular reactors, and advanced nuclear reactors in isolated communities.

The law also provides $1 billion to improve the resilience, safety, reliability, and availability of energy and provide environmental protection from adverse impacts of energy generation in rural and remote communities with populations of 10,000 or less. Finally, funding will go toward investments in clean energy technology supply chains.
