The Phillips Community Energy Cooperative exists to significantly lower energy costs and increase the use of clean energy throughout the Phillips community.

Phillips Community Energy Cooperative

The Phillips Community Energy Cooperative (PCEC) is an urban energy co-op, working to promote energy-efficiency in the Phillips neighborhood of South Minneapolis. The Coop was incubated by the Green Institute beginning in 2003 and recently became its own independent organization as of January 2005.

The PCEC is committed to bringing affordable energy-efficient products and services to Phillips community renters, homeowners, landlords, and small businesses.

Energy saving products should be an affordable option for everyone and not a luxury.
The PCEC helps its members save money on their utility bills. Together, members and PCEC staff work to democratize the energy industry, demand better customer service from the local utility, promote cleaner and safer energy production, and make our community a healthier place to live and work.
For more information or to become a Coop member, please contact Julia Eagles, PCEC Manager, at 612.278.7120.
