The Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is the single largest investment in climate change and energy in American history.
It allocates $369 billion to over 100 new and existing programs to expand access to clean energy, reduce pollution, advance environmental justice, support our island’s resilience to climate hazards, and more.
The City and County of Honolulu encourages residents to take advantage of this historical federal legislation to support our island’s climate action and affordability goals. This page consolidates the most updated information to help navigate what’s in the Inflation Reduction Act and how it can benefit you. Whether you’re looking to make energy efficiency upgrades or draw down money to support your organization’s mission - there is something in the IRA for everyone.
