TEPRI Presentation at DOE Road to Energy Justice: Funding and Engagement Workshop

Andrew Robison, TEPRI’s research analyst, had the opportunity to present as part of the Department of Energy’s Road to Energy Justice: Funding and Engagement Workshop in Brownsville on April 13. The presentation highlighted TEPRI’s work in South Texas, focused on key energy indicators in the region, and explored opportunities for future engagement with local stakeholders. Members of the DOE delegation, including Shalanda H. Baker, director of the Office of Economic Impact and Diversity and secretary advisor on equity for the agency, also had the opportunity to tour “The Farm” – the modular housing build site in Los Fresnos run by come dream. come build. (CBCB) for its MiCASiTA housing initiative. TEPRI and CDCB are collaborating to pilot solar panels on future MiCASiTA homes to offer residents an opportunity to generate on-site clean and reliable energy.
