Minnesotans Building a Clean Energy Future

The Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) Project, started in 2003, is made up of community members across Minnesota who share a bold vision for Minnesota's energy future: to foster strong communities, to create local jobs, and to develop clean and reliable energy from wind, biomass, and solar power, among others. CERTs works to connect people with the technical resources needed to identify and implement community-scale energy efficiency and clean energy projects, thus helping Minnesotan's vision become a reality, one project at a time. You can help build Minnesota's clean energy future!      Learn more about CERTs >>
