Further instruction can be found in the RFI document posted on https://eereexchange.energy.gov/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 15, 2021, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL),1 which appropriates more than $62 billion to DOE to ensure the clean energy future delivers true economic prosperity to the American people by: • Investing in American manufacturing and workers, including good-paying jobs that are subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage protections and provide the free and fair opportunity to join a union, effective workforce development to upskill incumbent and dislocated workers, and equitable workforce development pathways for good jobs for workers from underserved communities. • Expanding access to energy efficiency and clean energy for families, communities, and businesses. • Delivering reliable, clean, and affordable power to more Americans. • Building the technologies of tomorrow through clean energy demonstrations. On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).2 The energy and climate provisions of this bill include tax credits for clean energy technologies, almost $9 billion in residential energy efficiency rebates, $200 million for energy efficiency contractor training, and billions more for clean energy research and development, community investment, energy justice, and permitting processes. Sections 40503 and 40513 3 of the BIL established the EAT and CST programs, respectively. Section 50123 4 of the IRA established the Contractor Training Program. SCEP intends to use principles of equity and justice to guide BIL and IRA implementation, consistent with the Biden Administration’s commitments to ensure that overburdened, underserved, 1 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117–58 (November 15, 2021). 2 Inflation Reduction Act, Public Law 117–169 (August 16, 2022). 3 Codified at 42 U.S.C. 18793 and 18802, respectively. 4 Codified at 42 U.S.C. 18795b. PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and underrepresented individuals and communities have access to federal resources. The BIL and IRA implementation processes should advance equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality. BIL and IRA implementation efforts for the EAT and CST support the goal that 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities (the Justice40 Initiative). The implementation of the EAT, CST, and Contractor Training Programs aims to support the creation of good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union, the incorporation of strong labor standards, and high-road workforce development, especially sector-based training, Registered Apprenticeship, and quality preapprenticeship. Having a well-trained workforce is essential to improving the energy performance and quality of the nation’s building stock, developing career pathways in the building trades and ensuring Federal funds can be deployed quickly and efficiently to meet our climate challenge and market demand. A study from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) states the number of workers in renewable energy and energy efficiency will double by 2025 and triple by 2030.5 Workforce development and business owner training programs at the local, state, and federal levels can prepare students, workers, and businesses for opportunities in these crucial industries. For example, a number of cities, states, and utilities are delivering energy efficiency workforce development programs to increase the supply of qualified workers while also pursuing policies and programs to increase demand for the technologies and services these workers deliver. DOE seeks to enhance and expand new and established, nonprofit-, state-, and locally driven efforts to scale a welltrained, diverse workforce. The agency will do so in part through three new workforce development programs: Contractor Training Program, EAT, and CST. DOE intends to use these three programs to support the development of a more equitable energy efficiency and residential buildings-focused electrification workforce. For example, the existing energy efficiency workforce is disproportionately male and has a lower concentration of Hispanic workers compared to the national, 5 NREL, State-Level Employment Projections for Four Clean Energy Technologies in 2025 and 2030.
