BofA will lend, bank, invest in and advise on projects such as data centers, power generation and transportation. Bank of America will finance $250 billion in critical infrastructure projects to bolster American competitiveness, job growth and energy security, the bank said Wednesday. The company will lend, bank, invest in and advise on projects that touch digital, energy and core infrastructure, including data centers and computing materials; conventional and renewable power generation and energy storage; transportation; water systems; and critical minerals and mining.

“The infrastructure that powers our economy, strengthens our energy security and secures our technological leadership will drive growth, create jobs and define America’s next chapter,” the bank’s co-president, Jim DeMare, said in a prepared statement Wednesday. The bank expects its initiative to drive job creation in the construction, manufacturing and technology sectors. Data centers, power generation facilities, grid modernization projects and transportation infrastructure “require a highly skilled workforce to build, operate and maintain,” the bank said.

The bank’s global infrastructure and sustainable finance team, led by Karen Fang, and the bank’s global capital solutions team, which Fang co-leads, will direct the effort. "Meeting America's growing infrastructure needs requires mobilizing capital at scale across increasingly interconnected sectors," Fang said in a prepared statement. "Delivering these projects requires integrated financing solutions spanning corporate and project-level capital in both public and private markets. By bringing together capital providers, developers, corporations and investors, we are focused on helping accelerate investment in infrastructure that drives economic growth and creates lasting value for communities."
