Applications Open for Energy Transitions Initiative Partnership Project, Which Connects Decision Makers With Energy Insights
ETIPP communities receive up to two years of tailored technical assistance from researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and other national laboratories, along with support from regional partner organizations that understand energy challenges unique to their areas. Now entering its fourth year, ETIPP will for the first time offer direct funding to communities accepted to the program.
But communities that do not yet have a solidified plan or affiliated targets are also benefitting from ETIPP’s energy planning support: McGrath, in landlocked central Alaska, is assessing the potential for renewable energy in the area, including hydrokinetic, wind, solar, and micro-nuclear resources.
ETIPP is currently accepting applications through July 10. Prospective applicants must first contact an ETIPP regional partner or program manager to discuss their eligibility. ETIPP’s regional partners include the Island Institute, Renewable Energy Alaska Project, and Spark Northwest.
