Local Government
Direct Pay Tracker

Climate Mayors launched with partners the local government direct pay tracker — which will track the uptake of Direct Pay (elective pay) by local governments. This initiative seeks to collect clean energy project data from local governments that are utilizing the Inflation Reduction Act's (IRA) clean energy tax credits via Direct Pay.

Tracking this data is essential and provides evidence for protecting these tax credits. The goal of the tracker is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the IRA’s Direct Pay provision, enable cities to showcase their leadership in clean energy deployment, and allow local governments to share their IRA success stories.

This tracker was developed in partnership with C40 Cities, the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN), the Sustainable Cities Fund (SCF), and Atlas Public Policy  — and in collaboration alongside Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) and World Resource Institute (WRI).
