Clean Energy Resource Teams

What is a Metro CERTs Affiliate?

Affiliates are those community groups, congregations, schools, and municipalities that share our vision of communities working together to achieve a clean energy future. Metro CERTs works to provide to affiliates project development, connection to resources (technical, organizing, financial), and measurement services. In turn, affiliates help advise and share their experience with Metro CERTs and other community groups through mentorship, case studies, and at events.
