Nevada Clean Energy Fund

🚍 We’re excited to kick off our Clean School Bus initiative visiting six Nevada school districts! Electric school buses offer numerous benefits, including lower maintenance and fuel costs, healthier air for our children, and better performance compared to diesel and propane buses. Our team also provides free technical support to guide school districts through the funding process, evaluate different bus and charging options, and develop comprehensive implementation plans. Together, we’re driving Nevada toward a cleaner, greener future for our students! #NCEF #CleanSchoolBus #Nevada #CleanEnergy

Today’s press conference in Reno, Nevada celebrated the 2nd anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)! 🎉 Alexis Hill, Commissioner and Chair for Washoe County, shared her commitment to local climate action, including hiring the county’s first Sustainability Manager and pioneering green waste initiatives. “Since the IRA’s passage, Nevada has seen $14.5B in clean energy investments and 20,000+ new jobs,” said Hill. “We’re thrilled about the $156M Solar for All award and our collaboration with The Nevada Clean Energy Fund, The Empowerment Center, and the Nevada Wildlife Federation!” “Thanks to IRA funds, we’ve launched solar programs benefiting over 20,000 low-income Nevadans,” noted Kirsten Stasio of the Nevada Clean Energy Fund. The solar installation at Marvel Way, an affordable housing project by The Empowerment Center, was made possible with the Section 48 Renewable Investment Tax Credit and Low-income Bonus Credit, covering 40% of the cost”., Roxanne DeCarlo highlighted. Natasha Majewski from the Nevada Wildlife Federation emphasized that urban solar projects help provide clean energy while protecting public lands. Today, we celebrate the IRA’s significant impact on advancing climate and clean energy solutions in our communities. #InflationReductionAct
