Deployment and Industry Partnerships

The Deployment and Industry Partnerships (D&IP) organization leads NREL's efforts to accelerate broad market adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies to meet local and regional needs and advance national energy goals. We partner with key players in industry, government, and the nonprofit sector to build capacity to implement sustainable energy solutions.

Within the D&IP organization, the Integrated Applications Office provides a technology-neutral approach to evaluating opportunities for communities, campuses, buildings, facilities, and regions to address energy and environmental goals. Similarly, the State, Local, and Tribal Initiatives group focuses on the special needs of these communities to implement sustainable energy projects.

A deeper focus on specific technologies takes place in the Sustainable Electricity and Buildings and Sustainable Fuels and Vehicles groups.

Additional D&IP resources target partnerships with key industry groups and small businesses.
