Infrastructure
Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, more than a trillion dollars in federal funding are flowing across all 50 states to modernize our nation’s infrastructure. NEMA played a central role in this historic law, securing nearly $450 billion for our members across a dozen key policy provisions. These dollars are creating jobs and accelerating the movement to a more connected world – a world powered by electricity.
