The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the second cohort of communities selected as part of the Communities Local Energy Action Program (Communities LEAP), a technical assistance initiative intended to assist disadvantaged communities and those with historical ties to fossil fuel industries take control of their clean energy future. The 30 selected communities will receive a total of $18m in technical assistance to develop action plans that “reduce local air pollution, increase energy resilience, lower utility costs and energy burdens, and create good paying jobs”.

IEA’s new World Energy Outlook 2023 sees a phenomenal rise of clean energy technologies. It describes an energy system in 2030 in which clean technologies play a significantly greater role than today. This includes almost 10 times as many electric cars on the road worldwide; solar PV generating more electricity than the entire US power system does currently; renewables’ share of the global electricity mix nearing 50%, up from around 30% today; heat pumps and other electric heating systems outselling fossil fuel boilers globally; and three times as much investment going into new offshore wind projects than into new coal- and gas-fired power plants.
