Mapping DOE Community Benefits Plans
Tracking benefits from DOE investments under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act
This interactive map shows U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) investments made through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This map identifies where DOE’s demonstration and deployment investments are occurring and includes high-level snapshots of the local benefits that may be associated with these investments. The map includes data for 635 projects, which are a subset of the publicly announced BIL and IRA selected and awarded projects.
Community Benefit Plans (CBPs) were required for nearly all BIL and IRA demonstration and deployment projects to de-risk DOE-backed funding and inspire local support and development. CBPs included a wide range of benefits, from local hire requirements to binding workforce agreements. While there were over 1,000+ projects competitively selected by the Department of Energy and 4,000+ formula funding awardees, this data reflects a subset of energy and manufacturing projects with public community benefits commitments, which included 635 projects. These projects represent $110 billion of loans, grants, and tax credits.
