Clean Energy Resource Teams

What is the Metro CERTs Network?

Many Twin Cities neighborhood groups, community organizations and other metro-area residents are currently engaged in local clean energy efforts. The Metro CERTs network will help connect, provide support for, and increase the effectiveness of these local efforts in conducting community energy projects.

The 2007 Minnesota Legislature adopted CERTs in the Statutes and called for the creation of a Twin Cities Metro CERTs Network. We are very excited to get this network off the ground!

The Metro CERTs Network serves Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Washington, and Wright Counties.
