Capacity Building and No-cost Technical Assistance for Onsite Energy Solutions

In 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy established a network of Technical Assistance Partnerships (TAPs), with regional and technical expertise across the country to provide technical assistance for industrial facilities and other large energy users to increase the adoption of onsite clean energy technologies. Technologies include but are not limited to: battery storage; combined heat and power; district energy; fuel cells; geothermal; industrial heat pumps; renewable fuels; solar photovoltaics; solar thermal; thermal storage; and wind power.​

HARC provides technical assistance and hosts webinars and workshops for the Southcentral Onsite Energy Technical Assistance Partnerships, covering a total of five states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico). Since 2015, HARC has provided DOE-funded technical assistance, educational programming, resources, and tools to various industries.   ​

The TAPs educate prospective adopters about the many advantages of onsite clean energy technologies, with technical resources to assist end-users in evaluation and installation of onsite energy technologies. The program also assists in the development of onsite clean energy programs and policies. Natural disasters in recent years have underscored the importance of resilient energy infrastructure for continuity of operations, especially for critical industrial and other large energy usage facilities such as hospitals, college campuses, and governmental installations. ​

Comprised of leading experts in onsite energy deployment, the TAP programs provide a range of technical assistance services to facility owners and managers. Initially, a project is screened to assess economic viability by analysis of energy costs to gauge potential savings with various onsite energy clean technologies. This service is provided at no cost, thanks to DOE funding.

Climate Equity Framework and Toolkit for an Equitable Energy Transition in Greater Houston

Houston Energy Transition Initiative (HETI) in conjunction with HARC and Sallie Greenberg Consulting launched the Climate Equity Framework and Toolkit for an Equitable Transition in Greater Houston, providing comprehensive insights and best practices for engagement between energy companies and communities they impact.

Advancing Climate Equity Through Community Benefits Hubs

Climate equity involves ensuring the just distribution of the benefits of climate protection efforts and alleviating unequal burdens created by climate change. Our Community Benefits Hub framework aims to build capacity in disadvantaged communities; empower community representatives; and ensure accountability of benefits to communities.
Flaring Issues, Solutions, and Technologies (F.I.S.T.)

HARC launched the Flaring Issues, Solutions and Technologies (FIST) 2019 project in late 2018 with the objective of evaluating the current state of technologies addressing flaring of natural gas at wells sites.
