2010/11/15 | http://en.openei.org/wiki/Main_Page

Are you looking for information on how to make your home more energy efficient? Want to know what types of government incentives are available in your state if you utilize wind energy to power your business? Or maybe you’re an analyst looking for up-to-date data on ARRA-funded geothermal projects in your technology sector. Whether you’re a consumer, business owner, analyst or researcher, OpenEI.org puts a wealth of information on renewable energy at your fingertips. And it’s all free.

OpenEI was created in response to the White House’s Open Government Initiative, with the goal of providing open access to renewable energy information to anyone who needs it. With support from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado, and the U.S. Department of Energy, the website offers a wide range of current information on renewable energy topics ranging from solar, wind, geothermal and biomass energies to Smart Grid data, government rebate incentives, research datasets, and much, much more. And because the site is built on a wiki platform, we both welcome and encourage your collaboration and participation.

To learn more about OpenEI, the information you can find there, and how you can get involved, visit us at http://en.openei.org.

As always, we welcome your feedback. What would you like to see on the site? How can we make OpenEI more helpful to you? Drop us a line and let us know at openei.webmaster@nrel.gov.
