Inflation Reduction Act enacts ~$369B in US clean-energy and climate investment
The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law on 16 August 2022, dedicated roughly $369 billion to energy security and climate programs, including ten-year extensions of production and investment tax credits for solar, wind, geothermal, clean hydrogen and storage. It is widely described as the largest climate and clean-energy law in US history and was designed to accelerate domestic renewable deployment. The package was the product of months of Senate negotiation led by Senator Joe Manchin, then chair of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, alongside Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
