Letter: 30+ Organizations Urge Congress to Support Robust Transmission Funding in FY 2023 Budget

A diverse coalition of more than 30 clean energy organizations, environmental nonprofits, labor unions, consumer groups, developers and other companies sent a joint letter to Congress urging robust funding for high-voltage transmission deployment and research in the Department of Energy’s FY 2023 budget.

In the letter, the organizations stated their support for the critical work being done by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Grid Deployment Office, Loan Programs Office (LPO), and Office of Electricity (OE), writing that new funding for these offices will “drive substantial clean energy deployment, unleash billions in private investment, create thousands of new jobs, deliver low-cost energy to benefit customers, and substantially reduce emissions.”
