The Inflation Reduction Act and Schools Roadshow Comes to Wisconsin!

Written By Jonathan Klein
 

“Fortunately this new federal funding can help our schools become more efficient so we can keep as many dollars as possible in the classroom” - Sachin Chedda, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction

 

In February, UndauntedK12, Forward Together Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction hosted a webinar to help teams involved in decision making for school construction and renovation projects with an understanding how new federal funding available through the IRA, combined with local utility incentives can be leveraged to inform long-term facilities planning well into the next decade.

Check out resources - include Q&A - and recording from the session which featured the following speakers:

  • Sachin Chheda, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) - Opening Remarks

  • Sara Ross, UndauntedK12 - Overview of federal incentives available to schools for clean energy technologies

  • Kevin Frost, Slipstream - Introduction to IRA-eligible clean energy technologies and associated benefits

  • Kevin Splain, Sun Prairie Area School District: Case study of a local school

  • Heather, Feigum, Focus on Energy - How utility programs can support IRA-eligible projects

  • Mandela Barnes, Forward Together Wisconsin - Closing Remarks

Clean energy technology works in Wisconsin; its better for our students; and the federal government will help pay for it for the next ten years.
