DOE’s Technical Assistance Program (TAP) will continue its fall webinar series to assist state, city, county and tribal energy practitioners across the country with their clean energy programs.
Join TAP in November for webinars that will cover:
• Effectively working at the community level to deploy energy efficiency and renewable energy,
• Driving demand for home energy improvements by engaging with and learning from contractors,
• How and what types of state-level clean energy policies can have on-the-ground impacts,
• And more…
