Project Energy Nebraska

Project Energy Nebraska

Project Energy Nebraska (PEN) is a collaborative project that began with involvement from Conservation Nebraska's Common Ground Program, UNL's Environmental and Sustainability Studies program, and ICLEI, a non-profit whose mission is to support local government efforts to use more sustainable practices. 

The goal of this project is for members to collaborate with communities across Nebraska to inventory their energy use and greenhouse gas emissions and to initiate the development of community energy and emission reduction plans.
