Rural Energy Academy
Empowering rural communities to innovate in energy production, the Rural Energy Academy equips county leaders, planners, and economic developers with the tools and expertise to drive sustainable growth.
Hosted by National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO), the Academy offers on-demand education, expert-led technical assistance, energy tours, and peer-learning opportunities—all designed to transform energy strategies from displacement to expansion.
Launching in July 2025, the program is supported by an expert Advisory Board made up of its hosts, its seed funder – the Siting Clean Collaborative, Mana Group Consulting, and other subject matter experts, comprehensive case studies, and responsive resources to build a resilient, future-ready energy landscape.
