Supporting Major Investments for a Connected, Electrified Future

NEMA played a key role in the creation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), otherwise known as the Bipartisan infrastructure Law, a generational investment in the transformation of U.S. infrastructure.

The IIJA provides a $450 billion investment in energy and electrification projects that will unlock opportunities for the electroindustry – spurring new jobs and driving economic growth.

NEMA is helping to create a more electrified transportation system, modernized buildings, a resilient grid, and a more efficient manufacturing sector.
