US Initiatives
American communities and businesses’ need for low-cost, reliable electricity has never been higher. RMI designs system-level solutions to empower policymakers, regulators, citizens, and businesses to support implementation at scale.
Working with utilities, policymakers, manufacturers, industry groups, and community organizations, RMI experts are at the forefront of tackling unique buildings challenges — from retrofit solutions that reduce installation and operating costs, to design incentives that make efficient, demand-flexible electrification the intuitive choice.
RMI is modernizing the way in which people and goods move.
Working with local governments, manufacturers, fleets, industry, and communities, our experts focus on electrification and other innovations to build a cleaner, more affordable transportation system for tomorrow.
RMI works with heavy industrial sectors — including aluminum, cement and concrete, steel, chemicals, aviation, shipping, and trucking — to provide clean solutions to enhance competitiveness, create jobs, and ensure that the backbone of industry is ready for the energy transition.
Clean energy solutions can deliver affordable, reliable power, boost national security, meet our growing energy demand, keep Americans healthy and businesses profitable, create jobs, and bring financial stability to communities across the country. RMI works to identify and implement the most effective actions that drive these outcomes.
RMI works with local governments and community organizations to develop and scale impactful clean energy projects and programs.
