DOE Releases US $20.5M for Community Renewable Energy Projects - Renewable Energy World: "Washington, D.C., United States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com]
U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu this week announced the selection of five projects to receive a combined US $20.5 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support deployment of community-based renewable energy projects including biomass, wind and solar installations.
DOE estimates that these projects will provide enough clean, renewable energy to displace the emissions of approximately 10,700 homes.
“Smaller, more localized renewable energy systems need to play a role in our comprehensive energy portfolio,' Secretary Chu said. “These projects will help create jobs, expand our clean energy economy, and help us cut carbon pollution at the local level.”"
