Description (excerpt):
Clean Energy Group’s Resilient Power Funding Programs had a record setting year in 2023, with resilient power technical assistance, capacity building support, and funding provided to more organizations than ever before.
CEG’s grant programs, consisting of the Technical Assistance Fund (TAF) and Resilient Power Leadership Initiative (RPLI), were founded to support resilient power development in communities that had the greatest need for renewable and resilient power infrastructure but were the least able to access it due to decades of disinvestment, environmental racism, and neglect by industry leaders.
This report measures and tracks the growth of their programs over the past year, and their progress towards goals such as awarding 50% of funding to BIPOC-led organizations. The report includes an overview of the 2023 awardees, representing 17 states and 38 community service partners. Organizations that CEG supports through our resilient power funding programs include affordable housing facilities, health facilities, community resilience hubs, and Indigenous communities and Native Nations seeking energy sovereignty.
