Local Governments, Tribes, Utilities, and Organizations Across the Country Can Pursue Affordable Energy Solutions With Support From National Laboratories and Regional Organizations
Coastal, remote, and island communities across the United States can overcome energy reliability hurdles—like aging infrastructure and harsh weather conditions—as participants in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Energy Technology Innovation Partnership Project (ETIPP).
More than 90 ETIPP projects in 81 communities are already assessing, planning for, and implementing dozens of technologies and strategies to improve the affordability, reliability, and security of their energy systems. The ETIPP application is now open for a new round of communities to apply, and the program will accept applications through Nov. 18, 2026.
“The ETIPP program is a great opportunity for eligible communities to work with leading energy experts to make progress on their unique energy goals and learn from each other,” said Tessa Greco, one of ETIPP’s program managers at DOE’s National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR).
