2022年中东欧:努力为所有人带来更大的福祉
CEE seeks a healthy, carbon-neutral economy that works for all people. With more than 30 years' experience in energy efficiency, we align complementary strategies behind technical research, 项目开发和实施, 社区参与, 政策宣传, 项目融资.
我们以公平为导向. We work hard to bring a wide range of customized energy solutions to all members of our 通讯unity in Minnesota and beyond, 尤其是历史上服务不足的人群. 当我们做对了, 我们相信每个人——不分阶级, 比赛, 地理位置, or gender — stands a better chance to realize the economic and health benefits of our emerging 清洁 energy future.
Working in homes, buildings, and 通讯unities in the upper Midwest, our programs and services are 由合作而建,为合作而建. 我们的研究为我们追求的技术提供了信息. 政策视角指导项目策略. Competitive financing helps make efficiency upgrades doable in homes and 业务es. Like the richly diverse 通讯unities where we live and work, everything we do is intertwined and most powerful when we’re pulling together toward a greater good for all.
People-centered solutions where we live, work, and gather
2022年预计节省
社区是我们的基石
卓越的效率与社区锚. The Sabathani Community Center is a Black-led nonprofit with a mission to provide its 通讯unity with “essential resources that inspire them to improve their lives and build a thriving 通讯unity.“有雄心勃勃的能源目标, Sabathani partnered with CEE and other 通讯unity stakeholders to make Sabathani an example of how energy efficiency can provide significant financial, 社会, 以及对靠谱的外围竞猜app的环境效益, 居民, 以及整个南区社区.
就在社区中心隔壁, CEE’s New 首页s team supported the build and certifications of Sabathani’s Senior Housing apartment building, enabling the building to the building to meet the efficiency requirements of the EPA’s ENERGY STAR 住宅 New Construction program.
与部落国家合作. CEE’s tech expertise is supporting 清洁 energy efforts in 部落 通讯unities. In partnership with Native Sun Community Power Development, our researchers are leading electric vehicle metrics 分析 at Red Lake and Standing Rock reservations to quantify operational costs and emission reductions for an inter-部落 EV charging network.
In 2023, we’re working with Native Sun and others to evaluate barriers and opportunities to electrify heating and cooling services at Red Lake, 这是三州部落社区研究的一部分. 研究ers will explore the resilience of heating and cooling services provided by electricity and evaluate the development of renewable energy and energy storage on rural lands.
增强清洁能源劳动力的能力. 在明尼苏达州, challenges like a general workforce shortage and the anticipated “silver tsunami” of retirements in many trades threaten the 清洁 energy economy’s ability to maintain or accelerate growth. Such challenges call for us to create accessible career pathways for disadvantaged populations that are often left out of economic prosperity.
In 2022, CEE’s workforce development program attracted and trained nearly 40 people of color and women to pursue 清洁 energy careers. 接触主要受众, the program built and nurtures meaningful 通讯unity relationships with culturally specific organizations such as CAPI USA, Migizi, 美籍苗族合伙, 出现, 和城市根源.
