Celebrating 20 years

Top 20 Seed Grant Projects

July 2023

CERTs awards seed grants to communities across Minnesota for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Since 2006 we've awarded over $1.6M to 467 projects!

As we reflect on 20 years of the Clean Energy Resource Teams, we know there are too many great projects over the years to narrow it down to 20. In fact, we tried a few months ago when we picked our top stories about seed grants! So we're breaking our rules, sharing them all, and asking you to choose your own adventure, CERTs Seed Grant edition.
