This free program, managed by a public-private partnership, is based upon 28 best practices. Each best practice can be implemented by completing one or more actions at a 1, 2 or 3-star level, from a list of four to eight actions.

CLEAN ENERGY RESOURCE TEAMS (CERT)
Community members from around the state have developed a bold vision for Minnesota’s energy future, through greater energy efficiency and production from clean 21st Century technologies including wind, biomass, bio fuels and solar power. Minnesotans’ vision is becoming a reality now, one project at a time. The Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) project, launched in 2003, is connecting people with the technical resources needed to identify and implement community-scale energy efficiency and clean energy projects.
The CERTs approach is one of pragmatism and cooperation. It’s a model for how tangible economic, social and environmental benefits can be achieved by reaching across traditional interest groups and taking a true, community-based approach. In fact, CERTs has become something of a model for community-based clean energy.
