LPO Publishes First Set of Community Benefits Plans

Wondering what a completed LPO project Community Benefits Plan (CBP) looks like? Check out our new CBP homepage (Energy.gov/LPO/CBP) where today LPO published comprehensive CBPs for several projects that have recently finalized financing from DOE: https://lnkd.in/gsxMspvk

Publishing CBPs for projects receiving LPO loans or loan guarantees increases the transparency of the community engagement process and demonstrates how LPO’s investments deliver tangible benefits to communities across the country. On the heels of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Justice Week 2024, releasing full CBPs also underscores LPO’s commitment to community engagement and centering community voices.

The published CBPs are from three LPO projects that have reached financial close since the start of FY2024 and which together will support over 400 construction jobs and over 2,800 operations and maintenance jobs:
