Welcome to the Community Energy Project

Celebrating almost 30 years of serving the Portland community!

Our Mission

Community Energy Project, Inc., empowers people in the Portland metro area to maintain healthier, more livable homes, control their utility costs, and conserve natural resources.

We do this through education, hands-on training, and distribution of weatherization, water conservation, and lead poisoning prevention materials. We also provide direct weatherization and water conservation services to seniors and people with disabilities. We deliver these services in partnership with community members and service organizations, utilities, corporations, foundations, and government agencies.

Vision

We envision a future where all people can afford to live in their homes with dignity, comfort, and safety.

Our values

CEP board members, staff, and volunteers believe in the fundamental values of:

Human dignity

Mutual respect

Stewardship

Collaboration

Empowerment through education

Healthy communities

Statement of Inclusion:

Community Energy Project values and operates by a policy of inclusion, providing equal opportunity to all persons regardless of their protected status, including race, color, creed, religion, sex, age, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and/or any other class determined by law.

Programs

We serve over 1500 residents each year through our Weatherization and Lead Poisoning Prevention Workshops. Our In-Home Weatherization Program serves an additional 230 households for senior citizens and people with disabilities. Our new In-Home Safety Repair Program will serve several Portland hundred households. Hundreds of community volunteers help make these services available throughout the year. Through our programs, participants are able to improve the safety and livability of their homes, save money on utility bills, and conserve natural resources.
