Energy in Iowa and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Thank you for visiting the Office of Energy Independence's website for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This website will be dedicated to the energy provisions of the Act and how the Office is working to implement them. 

The Recovery Act is an opportunity to spur economic development in Iowa’s energy industry, which has become an increasingly more important part of Iowa’s economy. Iowa is a national leader for renewable energy, especially in wind and biofuels. The Recovery Act will help Iowa strengthen these industries by funding projects that will decrease energy use and minimize the industries' carbon footprint.

Note: Iowa’s Weatherization Assistance Program is administered by the Department of Human Rights Bureau of Weatherization Assistance.
