Follow Our Leaps Forward


EAC is partnering with the Town of Waynesville on a grant from the Department of Energy (DOE), called Communities Local Energy Action Program (C-LEAP). The DOE offers customized, high-quality technical assistance to selected communities with a high number of energy-burdened residents. This support will help our community develop strategies for clean energy-driven economic growth. The National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) is leading the technical assistance and community engagement efforts. This grant builds on the Town Council’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and advancing clean, efficient energy solutions. Look for ways to get involved on our Events page.
