DOE’s Onsite Energy Technical Assistance Partnerships (TAPs) provide direct technical assistance to industrial facilities and other large energy users with identifying and implementing onsite energy technology options for achieving site-specific energy objectives. Technical assistance for end users can include a broad range of services in support of onsite energy project deployment, from the earliest stages of screening for multi-technology solutions, to the end stages of post-installation operation. The Onsite Energy TAPs also conduct outreach and engage with policymakers, utilities, and other key stakeholders to accelerate pathways for integration of clean onsite energy technologies. Additional activities include developing public tools and resources, sharing best practices, and building partnerships that drive decarbonization across the U.S. industrial sector.
Each of the 10 Onsite Energy TAPs represents a multi-state area and brings specialized, regional knowledge to advise on economic, environmental, regulatory, and other issues impacting the adoption of onsite clean energy technologies, such as battery storage, combined heat and power (CHP), district energy, fuel cells, geothermal, industrial heat pumps, renewable fuels, solar photovoltaics (PV), solar thermal, thermal storage, waste heat to power (WHP), wind power, and more. The Onsite Energy TAPs have expertise to advise on a variety of distributed energy technologies suitable for the industrial sector and are backed by world-class support from DOE’s national laboratories.
