These partners often have niche expertise informed by on-the-ground experience. They bring different perspectives, distinct skill sets, and fresh insights to solving development challenges. USAID recognizes that these partners, especially small and local firms, can strengthen local capacity, provide specialized know-how, and deepen local markets. Unfortunately, these firms often do not have much experience with government proposal submissions or contracting paperwork.

All data was sourced from public press releases, industry associations, and news articles. For private sector investments that were partially funded through grants from the federal government (for example, a new battery plant funded with the help of a grant from the Department of Energy), only the private sector contribution to the investment is shown, not the federal cost share.

This map on public investments is intended to be illustrative of the scope of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act and the impact it has in all American communities, including yours.

Through targeted capital deployment, strategic partnerships, and a history of executing in difficult development environments, Invest Detroit has become a central figure in the revitalization efforts in the City of Detroit and The State of Michigan for over 25 years.

Our neighborhoods approach focuses our lending tools, relationships, and expertise on targeted neighborhood locations that will catalyze and inspire further growth in surrounding areas. We work with residents to identify priorities and developers who are community-minded. Partnering with the City of Detroit, neighborhood leaders and associations, among others, we are working to bring proven tools into ten targeted neighborhoods through the Strategic Neighborhood Fund.

Increasing the population of Detroit by attracting and retaining residents means less vacant buildings, safer neighborhoods, and a stronger local economy. We prioritize mixed-use projects that provide affordable housing so that residents at all income levels have a place to call home.

Supporting businesses over a range of sectors helps to create a wide range of opportunities for Detroit residents at all stages of their education or career paths. Local businesses can provide jobs to residents without cars, cut down on commute times for busy parents, promote walkable neighborhoods, and improve the local economy. Our programs work together to support local entrepreneurs who are creating new jobs or retaining existing jobs within the city.

Equitable access is a thread that runs through all of our programs and goals. Our vision is a Detroit for everyone with multi-ethnic and mixed-income neighborhoods where all residents feel safe and welcome and have access to resources and opportunities. Through our real estate work we ensure that we maintain percentages of affordable units in multi-family housing, and we work to identify and support developers of color. In our small business and venture investment work, we actively seek out entrepreneurs that are persons of color, immigrants, female, or Detroit residents.

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced a Cap-and-Invest Program to fund a sustainable and affordable future for all New Yorkers as part of the 2023 State of the State. Governor Hochul directed the Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to advance an economywide Cap-and-Invest Program that establishes a declining cap on greenhouse gas emissions, invests in programs that drive emissions reductions in an equitable manner prioritizing disadvantaged communities, limits costs to economically vulnerable households, and maintains the competitiveness of New York industries. In addition, Governor Hochul will propose legislation to create a universal Climate Action Rebate that is expected to drive more than $1 billion in future cap-and-invest proceeds to New Yorkers every year.

New York is undertaking one of the most ambitious and comprehensive efforts in the United States to address the threat of climate change. This new Cap-and-Invest Program will allow New York to continue making critical investments in our clean energy future while supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged communities in the face of rising global energy prices.

In 2021, the Washington Legislature passed the Climate Commitment Act (CCA) which establishes a comprehensive, market-based program to reduce carbon pollution and achieve the greenhouse gas limits set in state law. The program started on Jan. 1, 2023, and the first emissions allowance auction was held Feb. 28 the same year.

Businesses covered by the program must obtain allowances equal to their emissions and submit them to Ecology according to a staggered four-year compliance schedule. The first compliance deadline is Nov. 1, 2024, at which time businesses need to have allowances to cover just 30% of their 2023 emissions.

In 2021, the Washington Legislature adopted a historic package of legislative and budget proposals to combat climate change and prepare the state for the future low-carbon economy. The Legislature provided Ecology with the authority and funding to develop rules and requirements to implement three major climate bills: Climate Commitment Act, the Clean Fuel Standard, and an expanded hydrofluorocarbons management program.

The cap-and-invest program sets a limit, or cap, on overall carbon emissions in the state and requires businesses to obtain allowances equal to their covered greenhouse gas emissions. These allowances can be obtained through quarterly auctions hosted by Ecology, or bought and sold on a secondary market (just like stocks and bonds).

The cap-and-invest program is pretty complex and has a lot of moving parts. Below, we've answered some of the most common questions we receive about how this program works. If you don't see the answer you need, you can always reach out to us directly using the contact information at the bottom of the page.

Roughly 75% of statewide emissions will be covered under this program. Generally, businesses are covered under the program if they generate covered emissions that exceed 25,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year.

Exempted emissions include those from fuels used for agricultural purposes, aviation fuels, and marine fuels combusted outside of Washington. Emissions from fuels exported out of Washington are also excluded.

The bids are then automatically sorted in order of bid price, starting with the highest bid, and allocated to each bidder in that order. Once all the allowances are accounted for, the lowest bid that successfully won allowances is the price that all bidders pay.

As required by regulation, we issue a public notice of each scheduled auction at least 60 days before the auction date. These notices are posted on the CCA Auctions and Market webpage in the Auction Notices tab at the bottom of the page.

The specific floor and ceiling prices for each year will be announced on the first business day of December of the year preceding the relevant auctions. The prices for 2023 auctions were announced on Dec. 1, 2022.

The Legislature determined that three types of businesses should be issued allowances at no cost: "emissions-intensive, trade exposed" industries (EITEs), natural gas utilities, and electric utilities.
