Building equitable clean energy solutions together

Community Discovery Workshops

Wisconsin is best defined by the people who call it home. People with a restless drive to invent, create, and achieve what seems impossible. And your community is best defined by you. As a growing number of funding opportunities for clean energy projects become available, your vision for your community will help determine the clean energy solutions powering your neighborhoods and generating growth in your local economy. Community discovery workshops are designed to explore and define that vision. 

Plan a Workshop

What is a Community Discovery Workshop?

A half-day workshop bringing together community leaders, stakeholders, and citizens to explore clean energy funding opportunities together. 

Why participate?

  • Learn about clean energy funding opportunities in the state of Wisconsin
  • Connect the specific values, needs, and priorities of your community to funding opportunities
  • Develop a partnership with CECI that can be leveraged to connect to technology expertise, a growing stakeholder network, and funding resources
  • Contribute to Wisconsin’s statewide goals of developing a thriving, sustainable clean energy ecosystem

What is the format?

Workshops begin with an overview of the funding opportunities available for clean energy projects and may include some or all of the following activities:

  • Mapping the interests and values of your community to potential clean energy solutions
  • Analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing your community when implementing possible solutions
  • Developing your community’s vision for a clean energy future and identifying the steps to get there
  • Networking opportunities
  • An optional group social hour

Refreshments will be provided and all participants will be offered a small stipend and reimbursement for travel costs.
