These projects will promote investment in clean energy infrastructure that will create jobs, help communities provide long-term renewable energy and save consumers money. They will also serve as models for other local governments, campuses or small utilities to replicate, allowing other communities to design projects that fit their individual size and energy demands.<span id=\"more-13306\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">\u201cSmaller, more localized renewable energy systems need to play a role in our comprehensive energy portfolio,&#8221; said Secretary Chu. \u201cThese projects will help create jobs, expand our clean energy economy, and help us cut carbon pollution at the local level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">The selected projects will be leveraged with approximately $167 million in local government and private industry funding.\u00a0 DOE estimates that these projects will provide enough clean, renewable energy to displace the emissions of approximately 10,700 homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energy.gov\/news2009\/8536.htm\">Click here for a list of projects selected for awards&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(DOE, January 21, 2010) Washington, DC\u2014 U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today the selection of five projects to receive more than $20.5 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support deployment of community-based renewable energy projects, such as biomass, wind and solar installations.
