Feedback Request from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
On behalf of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), we wanted to share information about a new program being planned at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) called Communities to Clean Energy (C2C) that will leverage the expertise of its national laboratories to provide communities across the United States with tools, technical assistance, and implementation support to help them achieve their clean energy goals. The team has incorporated that community input into the planned C2C program, and now we want to hear from you.
Please join NREL for this virtual conversation, where you will receive a sneak peek of the planned C2C program and its support mechanisms, followed by a feedback session where you will be given a unique opportunity to help shape its design. We want to know what support would be most beneficial and how we can better serve your community’s needs.
The webinar will be held on two dates and times but will include the same content:
