Community Based Energy Solutions

The Northwest has abundant sources of clean, renewable energy and many opportunities for conservation and efficiency. Strong communities, taking collective action, can utilize these resources to respond effectively to global climate change, the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, and energy supply volatility.

Through our ongoing work, we know that communities in the Northwest are seeking guidance on what they can do today to conserve energy and use energy more wisely. Our efforts successfully educate, equip, and empower communities to develop their own solutions that provide real community benefits. We work directly with communities to put concepts and theories into practice and to identify the solutions that are most feasible in the evolving political, economical and technological environment.

OUR MISSION
Northwest SEED works to establish a clean, diverse, and affordable Northwest energy system based on efficient use of renewable resources, with maximum local control and ownership of energy assets.
