REopt for Resilience

NREL researchers designed a course to help technical service providers, community planners, and state policy makers understand how to use the REopt® techno-economic decision support platform to optimize energy systems for facilities that provide critical community resilience.

These modules were developed in partnership with the State Energy Program at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in a Technology Action Group focused on Onsite Energy Systems at Critical Facilities.
