The ETIPP program will partner with local communities to help improve their energy systems.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced that it is accepting applications for the Energy Technology Innovation Partnership Project (ETIPP) through November 18. The program helps coastal, remote, and island communities make their energy systems more affordable, reliable, and secure. ETIPP partners regional organizations with National Laboratory researchers for up to 24 months to assist in developing strategies to improve their energy systems.
“The ETIPP program has demonstrated year after year that empowering communities with the information they need to make decisions about their energy systems can help them create systems best suited for their local context,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary Dr. Carolyn Snyder of the Office of Innovation, Affordability, and Consumer Choice. “Each ETIPP project is community-driven, and the program is proof positive that combining three tiers of perspectives—local leadership, regional insight, and national expertise—supports people in hard-to-reach places to design solutions that match their energy needs and priorities.”
The program currently has five different cohorts, which have helped to support 95 different community projects and strengthened energy systems in 21 different states and territories.
