The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) and Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), in collaboration with its newly established Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA), called ENERGYWERX, will host an Objective Strategic Session (OSS) and Assessment Event (AE) to establish an initiative that will help energy communities build technical capacity and develop a workforce necessary to help revitalize energy systems, address environmental impacts, and tackle challenges associated with energy assets (power plants, coal mines, oil/gas well lands) that that have retired, or are slated for retirement (2009-2032). This effort will assist selected communities across the country create a baseline assessment towards repurposing the energy assets and help the communities to help them move to a net-zero emissions future.
