The Energy Action Fund, advocacy arm of the Energy Foundation, has enlisted Lot Sixteen LLC to lobby Congress on vital clean energy and environmental issues. As a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, the organization aims to influence policy for environmental advocacy.
Broader Context
The lobbying registration for Energy Action Fund was filed on July 20 and signed on September 3, marking it as a new client registration. The focus areas include Clean Air & Water Quality and Trucking/Shipping issues. Annie Gayman, Senior Vice President, and Jennifer Storipan, Executive Vice President of Lot Sixteen LLC, will represent the organization. Gayman brings extensive experience from the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, while Storipan has a strong background, having served as Legislative Director to Rep. Joyce Beatty and with Senate Appropriations Committee experience.
Additionally, significant funding from the Inflation Reduction Act has allocated $9 billion for programs aimed at residential energy efficiency and electrification, including various rebate programs. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, passed in November 2021, has also invested $3.5 billion in the Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program, benefiting over 700,000 households by reducing energy costs.
