The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides a suite of federal resources that enable electric utilities to improve both system reliability and affordability. RMI's latest research shows that if utilities leverage IRA incentives, they could save customers an average of $12.7 billion a year across the United States for the next 10 years, beginning in 2025.

RMI's IRA Opportunity Map is a living document that will be updated over time to support electric utilities, regulators, and advocates as they explore implementation strategies for IRA provisions, which can create billions of dollars of savings for customers by building new clean energy resources. The first IRA Opportunity Map analysis focuses on "clean repowering,” an immediate, no-regrets opportunity to address the challenges of interconnection queues by using existing fossil asset interconnection rights to interconnect nearby renewable energy and storage resources. Using existing interconnection rights could eliminate years of delays, which, along with IRA incentives that improve the economics of clean energy, can make clean repowering financially attractive for both utilities and their customers.

The map below shows the available clean repowering savings across the country as well as a view of individual utilities' opportunities. You can click on the layer button to select (or unselect) the type of utilities shown in the map. The default is investor-owned utilities, other options are municipal, coops, and other.
