ACCELERATING AN EQUITABLE CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

To promote the equitable adoption of clean energy technologies in Washington, CEI provides communities and tribes with technical assistance for clean energy projects, partnerships with scholars to co-design and perform research, and clean energy education and training modules for K-12 and two-year college students.

CEI provides these services pro bono in order to support community decision-making and participation in state and federal programs for decarbonization and resiliency. Communities and tribes can tap into the expertise of CEI scientists and engineers to co-develop practical solutions to climate challenges, including co-design projects via the UW Engineering senior capstone program. CEI students, faculty, and staff work with diverse groups of community members, leaders, educators, and young people to build grassroot capacities to chart their own clean energy future.

If your community is thinking about pursuing clean energy grant funding, lowering the financial burden of energy bills, exposing young people to clean energy careers, or planning an event around clean energy, we may have a program that supports your goals.
