The Energy Community Atlas provides efficient access to authoritative, curated, and relevant data that is vital to supporting energy planning, development, and economic growth across the U.S. In this effort, researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) are utilizing advanced data visualization and transformation capabilities to develop an integrated, data atlas and resource focused on supporting energy community transitions to new manufacturing opportunities.
Specifically, this project is working to find, acquire, integrate, and virtually host in a user-friendly, public and private solution from available resources, relevant to understanding and characterizing fossil energy communities themselves and inform energy planning, development, and economic growth opportunities, including opportunities for co-development to support manufacturing, critical materials, and more.
This Atlas when complete is to offer a one-stop-shop for stakeholders to derive new insights to accelerate energy investments and strategic decision support needs.
