Why did DOE choose to partner with cities instead of counties, or other state or local governments?
As centers of population and electricity loads, cities present great opportunities for solar market transformation. DOE recognizes that cities have an important role to play as champions of progressive energy efficiency and renewable energy efforts, and climate change action. DOE is supporting the Solar America Cities’ bold and innovative approaches to accelerate solar technology adoption at the local level. DOE also recognizes the important role of counties as local jurisdictions, and has encouraged cities to partner with their counties in proposals for the Solar America Cities award. States and utilities are also important partners of the DOE Solar Program, and through other program activities, DOE is engaging in outreach with states and utilities.
