E3 along with the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE) and DE Solutions were selected by the U.S. DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to direct the Pacific Regional Combined Heat and Power Technical Assistance Partnership (CHP-TAP), one of seven regional partnerships. The main purpose of the DOE regional partnerships is to increase the nation’s clean energy capacity using cost-effective and energy efficient combined heat and power (CHP) systems. The TAPs promote the development of CHP by providing education and outreach, market development and technical assistance to a variety of stakeholders for evaluating the economic, energy, reliability and environmental value of proposed systems. The Pacific CHP-TAP will focus on CHP development in California, Nevada and Hawaii.
