Another wave of money from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has been released by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as it commits $366 million for up to 17 clean energy projects that will impact communities in 20 states and 30 tribal areas.

The funding is from the Energy Improvements in Rural or Remote Areas (ERA) program, which is managed by the DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations.

The selected projects will employ a variety of clean energy technologies, including solar, battery energy storage systems, hydropower and microgrids. Some of them span multiple states and tribal communities.

The CHARGE Partnership plans to use the more than $57 million award to develop solar plus storage microgrids at rural community health centers, the first of which will be installed in Tunica, Mississippi. The microgrid will provide energy reliability to the facility, ensuring continuity of care during emergencies.
