Am I paying too much for electricity? Does it make sense for me to put solar panels on my roof? Consumers and businesses are asking, and OpenEI provides answers. Developed by the DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, OpenEI is where businesses and consumers alike can go to find energy information.
The free site blends elements of social media and Wiki-based technology with previously unavailable information on energy sources and prices. According to DOE, the result is a powerful, collaborative platform that will help government and industry leaders define policy options, make informed investment decisions, and create new businesses.
