The National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project
is a national network of students, educators, and businesses, government and community leaders dedicated to the design and delivery of comprehensive, K-12 energy education curriculum. Annually, OER recognizes the outstanding work done by NEED students and teachers throughout the Ocean State by hosting e
nergy education awards.
Each year, OER supports energy professional development for teachers and the delivery of energy curriculum created by the NEED Project. This curriculum helps students, teachers, and families understand the science of energy, energy sources, electricity generation, transportation, and energy efficiency at home and at school.
This year's award winning students, educators, and schools were recognized at a morning award ceremony on June 1, 2016. Four of Rhode Island's nine participating schools will also receive national awards and recognition from the NEED Project in Washington D.C. on June 27th. Congratulations to all of Rhode Island's NEED students and teachers!

Driving Rhode Island to Vehicle Electrification (DRIVE) is an Electric Vehicle (EV) rebate program administered by the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources to support the adoption of electric vehicles by Ocean State drivers. Through DRIVE, qualified Rhode Island residents interested in purchasing or leasing an EV are able to apply for a financial rebate of up to $2,500, based upon vehicle battery capacity.
Modeled closely on existing rebate programs offered in other states, DRIVE offers the potential to increase the total number of EVs on Rhode Island roadways by 20-35%. Already, the January-launched program has reserved $121,000 in incentives for fifty new EV owners!
A total of $200,000 has been allocated to this program. If you are interested in buying or leasing an EV in Rhode Island be sure to check out the
DRIVE website! Also be sure to join OER at an upcoming
DRIVE CLEAN event:
Saturday, June 4, 2016
10:30 AM - 2:30 PM
This is the first of a series of educational events supported by OER, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, the Ocean State Clean Cities Coalition, and Plug In America to introduce Rhode Island residents to driving electric. DRIVE CLEAN Rhode Island events are free to participants, thanks to funding from the John Merck Fund. These events will provide free electric vehicle test drives and feature vehicles made by Nissan, Chevrolet, Tesla, and others.
