Our Mission

In May 1999, the City of Cambridge voted to join Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) an international consortium of communities working to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

As a member of the CCP the City created a city-specific greenhouse gas emissions inventory and subsequently set targets and strategies to reduce these emissions through a comprehensive and well-defined plan.

To help achieve these goals, The Cambridge Energy Alliance (CEA) was created in 2007 to assist thousands of Cambridge residents and businesses  identify and arrange financing for all cost-effective energy efficiency improvements for their homes and businesses. CEA works with organizations who provide energy auditing capability, construction expertise and financial resources so we are better able to help our participants through the entire process of making their home or business more energy efficient and save money.

The Cambridge Energy Alliance expects that many efficiency projects can reap immediate savings through long-term financing options.  As part of this effort, CEA will work with government and non-government organizations to secure all available incentives and maximize benefits received by CEA participants.
