The U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Transitions Initiative (ETI) advances self-reliant island and remote communities through the development of resilient energy systems. Relevant outcomes include:
- Local resource reliance
- Institutional, social, and economic resilience
- Enhanced institutional capacity
- Lower costs and increased predictability
- Replicable approaches.
