Energy efficiency and renewable energy are a win-win for state and local governments and K-12 schools. Energy infrastructure investments create vibrant and healthy communities, provide a secure, reliable source of energy for homes and businesses, and produce well-paying, local jobs.

As such, the State and Local Solution Center is constantly expanding! Check back frequently for new and updated resources relevant to the important work being done across the country.  Coming soon are resources focused on wastewater infrastructure, Energy Savings Performance Contracting in non-traditional markets, data management, commercial property assessed clean energy (PACE) financing, and more.
