About Us

REE was established in 2024 to develop strategies that strengthen the economies of fossil fuel–dependent communities across the United States as the energy system transforms. We support action-oriented research to find what works, then transform that research into policy ideas for local, state, tribal, and federal policymakers. We're also building a community of scholars, policymakers and economic development practitioners to share knowledge and build relationships across the nation's energy communities.
