EPA awards Portland State University over $640,000 for research
SEATTLE (August 24, 2023) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has
awarded Portland State University $649,492 to understand the environmental
justice impacts of renewable energy storage infrastructure.  
“As our energy systems rapidly shift toward renewables, it is critical that
we better understand the environmental justice implications of this
transition,” said EPA Region 10 Administrator Casey Sixkiller. “Portland
State University’s community-engaged research will help fill this knowledge
gap and ensure that decision making regarding the energy transition is more
attentive to environmental justice and community concerns.”  
Energy storage systems for renewable energy, such as batteries and pumped
hydropower, have significant impacts at each stage of the systems’ life
cycles.  
This research takes a community-engaged approach to deepen the understanding
of how renewable energy transitions can benefit underserved communities.
Specifically, researchers will engage with communities in the western U.S.
through interviews, community-engaged workshops, and other forums to explore
the environmental justice impacts of renewable energy storage infrastructure
across the system’s life cycles. The project will also strengthen community
capacity.  
Portland State University is one of 11 institutions nationwide to receive a
total of $11 million in grant funding to address the drivers and environmental
impacts of energy transitions in underserved and Tribal communities.
