DOE to Support Clean Energy Transition in 12 Remote & Island Communities
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy today announced it will work with 12 competitively selected remote and island communities around the United States to help strengthen their energy infrastructure, reduce the risk of outages, and improve their future energy and economic outlook.
“Clean energy availability is one of the keys to unlocking a future of renewable, reliable, and affordable power,” said. “As home to one of the crown jewels of America’s National Park System, Mount Desert Island has long been a model for environmental stewardship and has made significant strides to preserve Acadia’s natural wonders. We welcome this investment, which will help the community accelerate its plans to increase the resiliency of the local grid and transition to a clean energy future.
“It is time we power our homes, schools, and communities with clean, affordable and reliable American-made energy. That is why I am delighted the Department of Energy is partnering with Aquinnah and Chilmark of Martha’s Vineyard,” said. This cooperation will not only support Massachusetts island communities achieve their dreams for a future powered by wind and solar, but will lower energy costs and improve air quality for all residents.
