Building on the Successful Communities LEAP Pilot, More Localities Can Now Leverage Support to Lower Energy Bills, Develop Plans for Sustained Clean Energy and Economic Empowerment
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy yesterday announced the second cohort of communities selected as part of theLocal Energy Action Program , a unique technical assistance initiative designed to help disadvantaged communities and those with historical ties to fossil fuel industries take direct control of their clean energy future.
“Under the Biden-Harris Administration, communities that have been overburdened and underserved for far too long can now leverage the federal tools needed to bring their clean energy future to life,”. “Through in-depth, customized technical assistance, Communities LEAP helps give local governments, Tribes, and community-based organizations an extra boost to further their progress of actionable plans that lower costs while protecting the health and safety of all residents.
“Technical Assistance is vital to develop resilient sophisticated renewable energy projects that can support the specific needs of low resourced, vulnerable communities.
“The DOE has been outstanding in lowering the barriers to entry into clean energy for communities – like ours – that have been disproportionately energy-burdened, yet often have the most difficulty accessing resources to address those burdens,”.
