The Powering Energy Efficiency & Impacts Framework (PEEIF) project is a collaborative project using big data and mapping to support energy programs serving low-income households.

The PEEIF project team has developed a database and mapping application to enhance energy-related decision making utilizing publicly available and private data. The geographical focus of the project is on a five-county region in northeastern North Carolina served by UCPCOG.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and led by the Upper Coastal Plain Council of Governments (UCPCOG), the PEEIF project is an effort of three NC State University partners: the NC Clean Energy Technology Center, the Center for Geospatial Analytics, the System Design Optimization Lab and the NC Sustainable Energy Association, ResiSpeak, Vermont Law School, the NC Justice Center and the University of South Carolina.
