NREL Energy Transitions Initiative Partnership Project: Coastal, Remote, and Island Community Technical Assistance | July 10, 2024

**Some programs are limited. Please read solicitations carefully and consult your Office of Research for specifics, such as limited applications through your university and internal application deadlines.**

NREL coordinates technical assistance and cash awards for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Energy Transitions Initiative Partnership Project (ETIPP) to help U.S. coastal, remote, and island communities become more energy resilient. DOE's ETIPP works alongside coastal, remote, and island communities seeking to transform their energy systems and increase energy resilience. These communities have unique physical features that fundamentally shape what energy options are available. For many of these communities, access to resilient, affordable, sustainable, and clean energy resources is a priority. ETIPP helps communities to assess and advance the solutions that best meet their needs.

In addition to supporting communities in their energy system transformation, ETIPP is also committed to the Justice40 Initiative. This governmentwide initiative has a goal of delivering 40% of the overall benefits of relevant federal investments in climate and energy to disadvantaged communities, and it tracks performance toward that goal. Applications that demonstrate their project will directly benefit a disadvantaged community are strongly encouraged.

Application Deadline: July 10, 2024
