This postcard will be used as a handout to promote the Energy Transition Initiative's Islands Playbook and State and Local Energy Data websites.

EERE's State and Local Energy Data (SLED) Tool provides basic energy market information that can help state and local governments plan and implement clean energy projects, including electricity generation; fuel sources and costs; applicable policies, regulations, and financial incentives; and renewable energy resource potential. Watch this video to learn more about the tool and hear testimonials from real users about the benefits of using this tool.

The State and Local Planning for Energy (SLOPE) Platform is a tool to enable more data-driven state and local energy planning by integrating dozens of distinct sources of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and (coming in 2020) sustainable transportation data and analyses.

SLOPE provides a free, easy-to-use "one-stop shop" for clean energy-planning data. SLOPE is a State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP)-led collaboration between multiple U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) offices and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

The Island Energy Playbook (the Playbook) provides an action-oriented guide to successfully initiating, planning, and completing a transition to an energy system that primarily relies on local resources to eliminate a dependence on one or two imported fuels. It is intended to serve as a readily available framework that any community can adapt to organize its own energy transition effort.

The State and Local Planning for Energy (SLOPE) Platform is a free, easy-to-use online platform to support data-driven state and local energy and decarbonization planning.

The State and Local Planning for Energy (SLOPE) Platform is a free and easy-to-access online platform that helps energy planners at state and local levels make data-driven decisions to achieve their communities' energy goals.

This is a very brief description of the State and Local Planning for Energy (SLOPE) platform and State and Local Energy Profiles datasets to be included in the Tools issue of the Colorado chapter of the American Planning Association newsletter.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) creates widely used data and tools to facilitate energy system planning and analysis. These software tools have been developed for complex research problems and perfected over real-world applications and laboratory validations. Some tools are award winners, others are open-source data explorers, and all are rigorously designed to empower decision-makers with accurate and accessible information. This software selection shows how NREL resources can help stakeholders achieve a clean, just, and resilient energy transformation.
