'''Communities Local Energy Action Program''' (Communities LEAP) is a Department of Energy initiative managed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to empower low-income, energy-burdened, and historically disadvantaged communities—often tied to fossil fuel legacies—with tailored technical assistance for clean energy planning. The program assists these communities in developing action plans to reduce local air pollution, increase energy resilience, lower utility costs, and create jobs, connecting them with DOE national lab experts to pursue pathways like energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy deployment, and clean transportation tailored to local needs. Launched as a pilot in March 2022 with 24 communities, it expanded to 30 more in 2024, supporting over 50 communities by 2025 with plans to continue aiding equitable energy transitions. | '''Communities Local Energy Action Program''' (Communities LEAP) is a Department of Energy initiative managed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to empower low-income, energy-burdened, and historically disadvantaged communities—often tied to fossil fuel legacies—with tailored technical assistance for clean energy planning.
