Why are we here?


Energize Nebraska exists to promote development of small renewable generation. Harvesting Nebraska's abundant natural resources to provide
heat, hot water, bio-fuels and electricity can create numerous opportunities for our residents, from economic benefits to energy independence, from job
creation to sustain growth of our communities, small renewable generation is a fundamental tool we must utilize to move Nebraska forward into
the future. Energize Nebraska believes in the potential of these resources and we are here to make sure those opportunities become a reality.

 

Our main focus is centered in: solar, small wind turbines, solar water heating and small scale biodiesel production.
