The US Department of Energy's Energy Transitions Initiative Partnership Project (ETIPP) works alongside remote and island communities seeking to transform their energy systems and increase energy resilience. The City of McGrath took part in the ETIPP program in 2023-2024. As part of the project, community members formed the McGrath Energy Committee, made up of residents and local stakeholder organizations. The McGrath Energy Committee then worked with technical advisors from regional associations, university programs, and national labs to conduct a baseline energy assessment of the community, organize a community energy education series, identify key focus areas relevant to McGrath, explore funding opportunities, and create the McGrath Community Energy Plan. This plan serves as a foundational guide for future energy projects in the community, aligned with McGrath's long-term energy goal: "to be a catalyst to encourage energy resiliency in our community and the Upper Kuskokwim Region." - November 2024.
