Advocacy
Community Energy Project focuses on three pillars of advocacy
Green and Healthy Homes
CEP advocates for safe, healthy, and efficient homes in a variety of ways such as aging in place, indoor air quality, and climate resilience.
Decarbonization
CEP supports policies and programs to promote electrification and decrease the use of fossil fuels. We are part of a larger movement to build climate resilience, decrease carbon emissions, and improve indoor air quality.
Energy Justice
CEP promotes access to clean and affordable energy and electricity for low-income and frontline communities.
Why Advocacy?

Those with low income and people of color are more heavily impacted by the climate crisis. CEP focuses on shaping and supporting policy that creates safe, healthy, and efficient homes.
Expertise
CEP has over 45 years of experience providing direct services to frontline communities, eliminating barriers to access, and utilizing our implementation experience in advocacy spaces from energy policy to environmental justice.
