Center for Energy and Environment
CEE's mission is to discover and deploy the most effective energy solutions that strengthen the economy and improve the environment. Data-driven and community-engaged, CEE’s staff are passionate to discover and deploy the most effective solutions for a healthy, low-carbon economy through several channels.
Purpose
CEE: Working toward a greater good for all
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, program development and implementation, community engagement, policy advocacy, and project financing.
We lead with equity. We work hard to bring a wide range of customized energy solutions to all members of our community in Minnesota and beyond, especially historically underserved populations. When we do it right, we believe everyone — regardless of class, race, geography, or gender — stands a better chance to realize the economic and health benefits of our emerging clean energy future.
Working in homes, buildings, and communities in the upper Midwest, our programs and services are built by and for collaboration. Our research informs the technologies we pursue. Policy perspectives guide program strategies. Competitive financing helps make efficiency upgrades doable in homes and businesses. Like the richly diverse communities where we live and work, everything we do is intertwined and most powerful when we’re pulling together toward a greater good for all.

Additional Culture Details
For decades, CEE has worked to serve the full breadth of our community. We invite the widest array of unique perspectives and wisdom to help us tailor people-centered solutions that serve everyone. We seek a healthy, carbon-neutral economy that works for all people. Our home region and the energy field have histories of marginalization and oppression that we need to change. CEE is dedicated to turning the dial toward equity and justice. Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council drives company-wide learning and reinforces accountability. Composed of staff volunteers and key leaders, the DEI Council helps to establish DEI-related objectives, support implementation, and inform our staff and board about progress.
