A brand new mapping tool will make connecting energy projects to the grid easier. Here’s how it works.

How grid policy gets written
Over the past 18 months, Fresh Energy has been working with our partners to rewrite Minnesota’s interconnection standards, which dictate how every new distributed energy system connects to our distribution grid.
Fresh Energy at the Global Climate Summit
In November, Fresh Energy’s science policy director J. Drake Hamilton will be participating in the annual international climate negotiations in Bonn, Germany. Find out what’s happening.
Innovative project to benefit renters and building efficiency
Through the Saint Paul Tenant-Landlord Energy Project, Fresh Energy and Community Stabilization Project are seeking to build a network of renters, landlords, and other critical stakeholders in the city to advance policies, provide education on energy-related issues, and support implementation of collaboratively developed solutions.
Transitioning to an all-electric economy
The path to electrifying our economy starts with the low-hanging fruit—getting off of fossil fuels and on to clean electricity to power our cars, heat and cool our homes, and create a modern and resilient electric grid.
Electrifying cars and buses
As drilling and process oil gets dirtier and dirtier, our electric grid only continues to get cleaner. That, combined with much lower fuel and maintenance costs compared to gas vehicles, make electric cars and buses a tremendous opportunity for clean energy progress.
