The U.S. Department of the Treasury and Department of Energy have received more than 46,000 applications for the Inflation Reduction Act’s Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit Program in 2023, four times the capacity of the program to support. The applications were for about 8 gigawatts of renewable generation, and around 2 GW will be funded. The 2024 round of the program will be opening soon.

The monthly open meeting of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, now dominated by a pro-fracking majority, begins at 1 pm, and will be held at Howard University School of Law.

Also, the Science Committee hosts top federal science officials for a hearing on securing the U.S. science and technology enterprise at 10 am, and Foreign Affairs discusses the Russian nuclear energy sector at 2 pm.
