Biden-Harris Investments to Usher in New Era for Clean Energy in Wisconsin
President Biden traveled to Westby, Wisconsin today to announce an award from the Empowering Rural America (New ERA) program. At the event, the president highlighted a New ERA investment funded by the Inflation Reduction Act that Dairyland Power Cooperative will use to grow solar and wind energy to supply power to utilities. New ERA is designed to help member-owned rural energy cooperatives transition to clean, affordable, and reliable energy—creating good jobs for local workers and ensuring workers and communities aren’t left behind in the transition to cleaner, cheaper energy.
