DOE’s Office of Electricity launched the Community Microgrid Assistance Partnership (C-MAP) to support the development and improvement of microgrids, local and independent power grids, for underserved and indigenous communities through technical support and/or funding. Eligibility for the pilot program is initially limited to communities in Alaska, Hawaii and Tribal lands, primarily in the Great Plains and Southwest.  Learn more about C-MAP.
