| U.S. Department of Energy Invests $10 Million to Support Clean Energy Transitions for Communities Across the United States | | | The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced three new communities will receive a combined $10 million in funding and technical assistance to research, model, validate, and deploy local clean energy strategies. Teams of local governments, electric utilities, and community-based groups will work closely with experts from DOE's world class national laboratories over two to three years through an in-depth partnership with the DOE's Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) program. In-depth partnerships are one of three offerings from C2C to support communities with renewable energy and grid, mobility, building, and resilience challenges. Almost 300 communities across the United States have received support from C2C to advance their goals and drive clean energy progress across the country. This initiative highlights efforts to support communities in adopting sustainable energy solutions with locally tailored approaches to enhance reliability. "We're excited to welcome our new C2C partners and expand our national efforts to provide customized assistance to communities planning clean energy projects," said Jeff Marootian, principal deputy assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewable energy at DOE. "There are many pathways to a clean energy future, and our national lab experts stand ready to deploy world class research, tools and resources to help these teams find the best options to fulfill their local needs and goals."  | | | |
