Join us on May 16th when Delaney Barber, Energy and Climate Manager for the Hoosier Environmental Council, explains how funds made available to all of us through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) can be used to help us transition to clean energy. Some examples include a $7,500 point-of-sale discount for electric vehicles, 30% uncapped tax credit for rooftop solar, battery storage, and geothermal heating, as well as a $2,000 tax credit for air source heat pumps. And there is much, much, more. These IRA funds are available to all of us, regardless of income, and Delaney will help us understand how we can use them to begin our personal transition to clean energy.
Registrations are encouraged, but not required – register for CGI’s May Sustainable Living Seminary – How the Inflation Reduction Act can help you Transition to Clean Energy.
