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.
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.
Policy & Technical Assistance Team (P&TA): 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.
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.
