From putting Minnesota on the pathway to being a national renewable energy leader to promoting clean transportation options for our growing economy, Fresh Energy has been an essential partner in helping the region develop efficient, cost-effective, and inclusive energy programming.

To prevent the worst impacts of climate change, we need to act now and dramatically reduce carbon emissions from all sectors of the economy. Fresh Energy is rising to meet the moment and thanks to supporters like you, our team is driving high impact and innovative clean energy policies across Minnesota and the Midwest. From Minnesota's landmark 100% clean electricity law to improving the efficiency of residential and commercial buildings and more, your support of Fresh Energy helps ensure that we can:

• Continue to help Minnesota utilities meet the moment by further decarbonizing the electric supply through closing coal units and preventing new fossil gas plants, advancing efficiency and renewables, establishing modern rate design to further electrification and fuel-switching, and elevating the importance of equity. 
• Drive a comprehensive approach to clean transportation that centers a meaningful investment in clean transportation expansion and funding, an equitable electric vehicle charging network, getting more electric transit and school buses on the road, and furthering mode shifting. 
• Forge the way for clean energy jobs and wealth creation for all Minnesotans—with a focus on under-resourced communities, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, and those residing in greater Minnesota—ensuring our state leverages the economic development activities underway in the clean energy sector, especially those sparked by federal funding.

We are sharing a collective moment where our clean energy future is taking shape before our very eyes. Will you join us in being an active participant by donating to support our work today?
