The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a new round of leaders from 45 entities that will collaborate on common clean energy opportunities and challenges through the Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) program's peer-learning cohorts. These participants—including county and local governments, Tribes, community-based organizations, and utilities—will convene regularly from July to December 2024 to exchange strategies and best practices, learn in a collaborative environment from each other and DOE’s national laboratory experts, and workshop their pathways to agrivoltaics implementation, residential energy efficiency programs, or municipal fleet electrification.
“C2C’s peer-learning cohorts facilitate new networks and collaborations between communities across the country and enable them access to top clean energy experts from DOE’s national laboratories,” said Jeff Marootian, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. “By collaborating and sharing successful plans with their peers, these new participants will gain ideas, tools, and confidence to accelerate their own clean energy transitions. We are excited for this new group to thrive in this program.”
