Clean Energy Group’s Resilient Power Technical Assistance Fund has advanced local energy resilience capacity and knowledge building with more than 100 community-based organizations across 27 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, as well as Tribal Governments. Below is a selection of solar plus battery storage (solar+storage) projects that CEG has supported through the…
Technical Assistance Fund Impact Map Clean Energy Group has awarded more than 130 technical assistance and capacity building grants totaling $1.3 million to over 100 community-based organizations working to advance resilient solar and energy storage in their communities. To date, these collaborations have resulted in more than 40 completed community-serving resilient power projects, providing clean,…
CESA Research Fellow Charles Hua discussed the findings of CESA’s new report reviewing the equity and environmental justice components of state 100% clean energy plans. Dr. Tony Reames of the US Department of Energy placed the states’ energy equity activities into the context of federal environmental justice initiatives, including the Justice40 Initiative.
These fact sheets introduce each of the six bonus credits available within the ITC for solar, wind, and storage projects. These fact sheets share who is eligible to apply for each credit and which credits can be paired together.
Electric vehicles for community use – including electric buses, vans, trucks, and ordinary passenger cars – represent an important opportunity for economic, environmental, and public health benefits.
Panelists shared information about a community solar project being developed by Holy Cross Energy (HCE), a rural electric cooperative in Colorado, that will benefit manufactured homes residents, including information on how the project has come to be, the programs and incentives utilized to support the project, how newly available Inflation Reduction Act incentives are being used to expand the project, how this project could be replicated and scaled up to benefit more mobile home residents throughout HCE’s service area, and more.
This report highlights best practices, identifies barriers, and underscores the urgent need to expand state energy storage policymaking to support decarbonization in the US.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in Clean Energy Having access to clean energy is a basic right that all people should be afforded. Our work at Clean Energy Group (CEG) is focused on ensuring this right by enabling and accelerating a just transition to clean energy. To achieve this outcome, the clean energy transformation must…
State policymakers are increasingly recognizing the potential to use energy storage as an energy efficiency technology. This would help lower utility bills for all ratepayers, including renters who are typically unable to participate in home efficiency programs.
The people who could most benefit from the cost saving and resilience benefits of solar+storage do not always have the capacity to initiate projects. CEG awards small grants to non-profit and grassroots organizations to support their efforts for internal capacity building around resilient power.
