Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

Renewable energy solutions are becoming cheaper, more reliable, and more efficient every day. Implementing new energy solutions as fast as possible is essential to counter climate change and help our economy grow.

Through the Resilient Communities Grant program, we’ve provided grants for projects focused on clean energy production.

Our planning services focus on the triple bottom line: People, Planet, and shared Prosperity.

Our staff is happy to serve on the Advisory Committee of the Clean Energy Resource Teams.

We support community funds in their pursuit of their local and global goals.
