Overview
The U.S. Energy Foundation is a partnership of philanthropies focused on securing a clean and equitable energy future to tackle the climate crisis. The Energy Foundation’s Local Power Initiative seeks to advance successful local planning, siting, and deployment of clean energy projects at the scale necessary to achieve 100 GW of deployment annually by 2030. The initiative will identify priority communities to build capacity and amplify early climate success, while supporting the development of baseline tools, such as modeling, technical research, and analytical support, to ensure these efforts are led by, benefit, and are supported by local leaders and their communities.
