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 from nearly 200 communities have joined peer-learning cohorts for strategic and technical assistance; access to training materials, tools, and best practices; and the chance to collaborate with peers.

The three peer-learning cohort topics in this upcoming round are:

-          Distributed wind in rural and agricultural communities.

-          Planning for microgrids to increase energy resilience.

-          Renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements in Appalachia.

Each peer-learning cohort is free to join and lasts six months. Participants are expected to commit about four hours per month starting in January 2025.  

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.

Ella et al,

Even though ASES does not have a distributed wind division, distributed wind is my expertise. I'd be happy to help any community wanting to engage on the C2C peer learning project listed on the topic of distributed wind.

thanks
