Schools and Elective Pay

We are coordinating a national campaign to support schools to leverage energy tax credits and Elective Pay to make progress toward reliable, cost-effective healthier school buildings for our most vulnerable students.

To date, we’ve reached education leaders in 38 of 50 states and have identified over 400 school infrastructure modernization projects that are eligible for energy tax credits.

Elective Pay could be among the largest federal investments in school facilities. How?

Energy tax credits are uncapped and noncompetitive and available until 2032 and beyond. But state leadership and local decision-making are required to make the most of this generational opportunity.


States across the country are starting to understand and help catalyze this opportunity for schools.

We collaborated with the Maryland Commission on School Construction and Maryland Energy Administration to lead a session on IRA for Maryland school business officials. We also worked with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and Forward Together Wisconsin to co-host a webinar for their state’s school facilities community.
