The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022: Fuelling Economic Growth and Job Creation in the U.S.
Key Ideas
  • The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 is projected to deliver a 4X return on taxpayer investment, boosting the U.S. economy by $1.9 trillion over the next decade.
  • Key benefits of the IRA include the creation of over 3.5 million clean energy jobs by 2032, $846 billion addition to household income, and carbon emission reductions of 4.1 billion metric tons.
  • The Act incentivizes clean energy manufacturing, leading to over $100 billion in new investments in U.S. manufacturing, and upgrades in building sectors, enhancing domestic manufacturing capabilities.
  • Independent studies highlight IRA's role in catalyzing private sector investments, modernizing infrastructure, and positioning the U.S. as a leader in developing technologies for energy security and emission reduction.
A recent report by American Clean Power Association discusses the positive impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 on the U.S. economy. The study highlights how the IRA, often compared to 'the green new deal,' benefits various energy technologies, including oil, gas, hydrogen, nuclear energy, and battery storage systems, as well as sectors like power, transportation, and manufacturing. By incentivizing clean energy manufacturing, the Act has attracted significant investments, with over $100 billion directed towards new or expanded clean energy manufacturing facilities. Key findings from the report include a projected 4X return on taxpayer investments, leading to a $1.9 trillion boost to the economy, the creation of over 3.5 million clean energy jobs by 2032, and substantial carbon emission reductions. The IRA also promotes household income growth and onshoring of the supply chain. Experts emphasize the Act's pivotal role in accelerating economic growth, modernizing infrastructure, and enhancing domestic manufacturing capabilities, which will keep the U.S. competitive in the long term. The study, commissioned by the American Clean Power Association and conducted by ICF, underscores the significant private sector investments, job creation, and economic growth spurred by the IRA, positioning the U.S. as a global leader in energy technologies and emission reduction efforts.
