NREL is thrilled to launch the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Electricity’s Community Microgrid Assistance Partnership (C-MAP) focused on electrically isolated and underserved communities in Alaska, Hawaii, and Tribal lands in the Great Plains and Southwest. With C-MAP, you can plan a resilient microgrid system, make improvements on an existing system, build workforce capacity, or add renewable energy. This program will build a knowledge network around microgrid development and innovation in rural communities and deploy technology solutions that can be replicated nationwide. Interested community leaders and developers can technical assistance for developing a project proposal. Learn more at bit.ly/47Au4tk.

This National Drive Electric Week, we’re sharing electric success stories from #CleanCities and Communities coalitions. Read below to learn about how solar-powered electric refrigeration units are improving local air quality in New York. Empire Clean Cities helped replace diesel refrigeration units with solar-powered electric truck trailers at the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center in the South Bronx, the largest food distribution site in the world. Transitioning to electric refrigerated trucking units reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality for nearby marginalized communities, as well as serves as an example for other national distribution centers.
