WHO WE ARE
We bring clean energy people together across New England. Businesses, municipalities, utilities, nonprofits, and the workers who make it all happen. Through our Clean Energy Weeks and year round partnerships, we connect people who need solutions with people who build them because we believe projects actually get completed when we stop working in silos and start working together.
​
We built the NREC Resource Portal because too much funding was going unfound and too many good projects were dying before they ever started. Grants, investors, municipal resources, all scattered across thousands of databases. We put it in one place so companies can stop searching and start building. We are not interested in simply talking or holding meetings. We roll up our sleeves and get in the trenches with the people doing this work every single day.
​
This industry is facing hard days. We are still here and we are all in this together.

We didn't start NREC because we saw a gap in the market. We started it because we saw talented people doing critical work in silos. Companies spending more time searching for funding than actually building projects because grants, investors, and resources were scattered across thousands of databases. Municipalities doing incredible things, like Framingham's district geothermal project and Newburyport's net zero Cutter fire station, but without a platform to share those wins across the region. Six states full of talent and ambition and resources, and not enough of it was connected. So we connected it. We built the NREC Resource Portal so companies could go to one place, stop digging, and start getting projects off the ground and completed. We make introductions that turn into partnerships. This industry is navigating an uncertain landscape right now. But the work has never been more important, and the people in this sector have never been more resilient. We are still here, and we will keep showing up, because that is what you do when you believe in the people beside you.
