Renewables Advancing Community Energy Resilience (RACER)

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) Renewables Advancing Community Energy Resilience (RACER) was a $33 million funding program supporting projects that enabled communities to use solar and solar-plus-storage to prevent disruptions in power caused by extreme weather and other events, and to rapidly restore electricity if it goes down.

DOE announced the RACER funding opportunity on April 12, 2022 and announced the selection of 20 projects on November 2, 2022.
