About Deployment
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) addresses national and global energy challenges by facilitating the widespread deployment of commercially available clean energy technologies through various projects, programs, and initiatives.
EERE's deployment efforts provide the technical assistance, policy, financial, outreach and education, and supply chain support needed to move technologies from research, development, and commercialization to broad market adoption. Deployment is the catalyst for energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions to power homes, businesses, communities, and vehicles.
Deployment at Scale
EERE collaborates with customers such as government, industry, and other stakeholders to address technical and information needs. This creates the momentum needed to build capacity for technology implementation on a large scale, which helps:
- Stimulate market demand for specific technologies
- Support EERE technologies to achieve mass market penetration
- Increase the use of EERE-supported technologies in government and international markets
- Stimulate economic development through private sector investment
- Create jobs in clean technology industries
- Educate consumers on clean technologies.
Within EERE, some deployment activities focus specifically on energy efficiency or renewable energy technologies, while others support overlapping EERE goals.
