Advancing Energy and Equity at the Minnesota Legislature

Two weeks into what’s shaping up to be a fast-paced legislative session, we’re striving to make sure that all clean energy policies at the Capitol have equity at their core. 

Our commitment to energy, access, and equity

Fresh Energy’s Energy Access and Equity program area will house our work to create and expand clean energy opportunities for under-resourced households and renters and ensure that equity is at the heart of our efforts.

Fresh Energy’s 25 years of progress on energy efficiency

When Fresh Energy was founded energy conservation was sort of a folksy thing that people taught their kids. Now, Minnesota is a leader on energy efficiency thanks to the energy savings and spending requirements included in the nation-leading 2007 Next Generation Energy Act. As the grid continues to get cleaner and cleaner, Fresh Energy’s efficiency work is shifting from focusing purely on energy savings and more on energy performance.
