Community Energy Support Program

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) provides support to communities to achieve their energy goals through the Energy to Communities (E2C) Program by offering in-depth partnerships, peer-learning cohorts, and one-on-one matches with experts. Partners in peer-learning cohorts include Clean Cities and Communities coalitions. Eligible communities include local governments, tribal governments, metropolitan and regional planning authorities, utilities, community-based organizations, and entities such as transit agencies, school districts, housing authorities, and universities. Eligible community energy goal topics include electric vehicles, alternative fuels, and associated infrastructure. For more information, see NLR’s E2C website.
