12 WIP Mission & Strategic Objective: How We Fit Into the EERE Plan WIP is part of EERE s balanced research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) approach to accelerate America s transition to a clean energy economy. WIP s mission is to catalyze the deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and practices by a wide range of government, community, and business stakeholders, in partnership with State and local organizations. WIP supports DOE s strategic objective to deploy the clean energy technologies we have. These typically near-term activities produce almost immediate results in the form of greater energy efficiency, lower energy use, expanded renewable energy capacity, and economic development. 12

13 Weatherization & Intergovernmental Programs (WIP) Office WIP activities are focused in three primary areas: State Energy Program (SEP): State-led energy projects serve as an important foundation for reducing energy use and costs, developing environmentally conscious state economies, and increasing renewable energy generation. Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP): State/local agencies carry out residential energy retrofits in low income residences that reduce energy consumption while concurrently reducing energy costs for these families. Policy & Technical Assistance (P&TA) Team: Assists in developing tools and solutions to barriers facing state and local government expansion of energy efficiency policies and programs and replicating successful efforts demonstrated by public sector leaders. 13
