Communities interested in microgrid consultations can contact the program at any time. Approximately 60 hours of technical assistance might be offered. Entities eligible for support are nonprofit organizations, including energy cooperatives; state and local government; and any federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native Tribe and village. C-MAP might also issue calls for technical assistance cohorts.

Participants in the Community Microgrid Assistance Partnership (C-MAP) will receive technical support and/or funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) to design or deploy a microgrid that aligns with community-defined priorities or to improve performance of an existing microgrid technology.
