The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Upper Coastal Plain Council of Government (UCPCOG) to facilitate a mapping system for data-driven energy-efficiency analysis and decision-making to foster collaborations between multiple government and non-governmental entities.
The proposed project would create an enterprise geospatial database of existing federal, state, utility and local energy-efficiency programs in the service area of a rural electric cooperative utility and city-owned utility. The geospatial database would be integrated with a utility energy monitoring software to track the energy savings from participating homes in the program with an emphasis on aiding low-income households. The proposed project would increase organizational collaboration, support better decision-making, and increase energy efficiency in low-income households. The UCPCOG, located in Wilson, ND, would coordinate participant activities.
