ABOUT

A Bit of Background

The Cook County Local Energy Project, or CCLEP (pronounced "see-klep") was formed in 2008 to coordinate a local response to the worldwide transition away from fossil fuels. We are Cook County citizens working together to facilitate an equitable and sustainable transition toward locally-controlled, resilient, low-carbon energy production in Cook County, Minnesota.

The CCLEP board meets once a month, and meetings are open to the public. If you would like to be on the agenda, please contact us!
