The U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) program is now accepting applications for a new round of peer-learning cohorts. Participants in C2C peer-learning cohorts receive strategic and technical assistance; access to training materials, tools, and best practices; and the chance to collaborate with peers across the country. The cohorts start in January 2025 and last 6 months. Participants should be available approximately 4 hours per month.
Eligibility for each cohort depends on the cohort topic, but ideal participants may include local and regional governments, not-for-profit economic development districts, municipal and cooperative utilities, Tribes, and community-based organizations.
The three peer-learning cohort topics in this round are:
- Distributed wind
- Renewable energy and energy efficiency 101 in Appalachia
- Microgrids
Applications are due by October 31 at Clean Energy to Communities Program: Peer-Learning Cohorts | State, Local, and Tribal Governments | NREL
