Fresh Energy

 

Fresh Energy is speeding Minnesota’s transition to a clean energy economy, which will ensure that our region enjoys good health, a vibrant economy, and thriving communities today and for generations to come.

Your support is more critical than ever, and when you donate today, your gift will be matched. While climate progress faces unprecedented setbacks at the federal level, Minnesota continues to lead — and Fresh Energy is at the forefront of this fight. We remain committed to the power of state policy and regulatory advocacy to ensure Minnesota meets its climate targets. But we can’t do this work with you.

Eric Larson and Geeta DashThanks to supporters like Eric Larson and Geeta Dash, who became Power Circle donors after years of supporting Fresh Energy, we’re making real progress. After taking personal climate action — from installing solar panels to driving electric vehicles — Eric and Geeta realized that policy change creates an impact at the scale that Minnesota needs to thrive. “It’s policy change that will make a bigger difference in minimizing our nation’s use of fossil fuels and their corresponding emissions,” Eric said.

Your donation will power victories like these recent Fresh Energy accomplishments:

• Defending Minnesota’s landmark 100% clean electricity by 2040 law from multiple rollback attempts,
• Shaping critical policy around emerging technologies like data centers, and
• Ensuring transformative clean energy plans are approved at the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, like Xcel Energy’s Integrated Resource Plan approved in February that will add 6,080 MW of wind, solar, and battery storage instead of new fossil fuel plants.

Your giving also supports innovative work like our partnership to create the nation’s first automatic bill credit pilot with Xcel Energy, providing direct energy assistance to 23,000 households across Minnesota.

The climate crisis demands urgent action. Minnesota needs strong leadership to navigate federal uncertainty and advance bold, state-level climate solutions.

Fresh Energy is ready to defend our progress and push forward. We’re determined to reshape Minnesota’s energy system to be clean, affordable, and equitable for all Minnesotans.
