America has a new $1.2 trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, but what does that mean for the waterpower industry? We’ve got answers at Waterpower Week 2022

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law by President Biden on November 5, 2021 provides $2.5 billion for:

  • Power upgrades
  • Grid resiliency investments 
  • Environmental improvements at existing waterpower facilities
  • Dam safety investments
  • Removal of obsolete dams that have been abandoned or are no longer needed

We’ll break all this down at Waterpower Week 2022 and help you to learn

  • What made it into the final law, what was left out, and what is still pending under the separate $360 Billion Build Back Better Act.   
  • The latest about when and how funds will be distributed.
  • Updates on competitive grant programs – so that you don’t leave money on the table.

You’ll gain knowledge to help you plan for the massive influx of waterpower infrastructure spending over the next several years, enabling you to confidently and competitively move forward in light of this historical investment in clean energy programs.

We’ll also show you how to execute on that plan. The private sector will need to begin growing now to plan for and manage this level of investment in infrastructure. Waterpower Week 2022 will help you move forward with confidence. Such a massive investment in infrastructure will also require extensive coordination among the various stakeholders. Begin building relationships today with your counterparts in industry and government at Waterpower Week 2022.
