CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to unveil the new White House plan to lower energy costs ahead of a campaign rally in Boston Wednesday night.
The White House said Harris will visit a union hall and training facility in Dorchester, where she’ll speak about steps taken by the administration to lower energy costs for working families heading into this winter.
The Biden administration is allocating more than $4 billion in assistance from the Inflation Reduction Act to help decrease the costs of home heating through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program and said it wants to help households afford energy-efficient equipment so they can save money that way as well.
“The investments that we’re announcing today reflect that longstanding commitment that the President has had (to) protecting the health and wellbeing of families struggling,” said Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra.
In Cambridge, members of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation will also be meeting with former Congressman Joe Kennedy, who now runs Citizens Energy Corporation, a nonprofit founded by his father, to help people with their energy costs.
Harris will also attend the rally for the state’s Democratic midterm election candidates Wednesday night at the Reggie Lewis Center.
