Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Resources for State & Local Leaders

Investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and infrastructure help create vibrant and healthy communities; provide a secure, reliable source of energy for homes and businesses; and produce well-paying local jobs. As key decision makers for American energy investments, state and local governments are valued partners to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Energy innovations at the state and local level help power the nation’s economy.

The Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs Office (WIP) is part of DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and supports DOE’s mission to create greater energy affordability, security, and resiliency. WIP’s mission is to enable strategic investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies using innovative practices across the United States in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders, including state and local organizations and community-based nonprofits. WIP supports DOE’s strategic objective to lower energy bills while expanding cost-effective energy choices for all Americans through the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) and State Energy Program (SEP).
