Why Work With Us?

Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) is a regional nonprofit that works to accelerate energy efficiency, electrification, and grid-flexibility across Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states as a core strategy to reduce climate pollution and build an affordable, sustainable, just, and resilient energy future. NEEP focuses on the components key to rapid, equitable decarbonization of the regional buildings sector – strong policies and regulations to address building emissions and lower energy bills, market transformation for electric building technologies, community-led solutions, and a diverse and experienced workforce.

NEEP supports collaboration among government, industry, community groups, academia, and advocates to drive long-term regional change. Learn more about NEEP p.org.

NEEP is based in Massachusetts, with staff in locations around the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region.
