About Us

CNT Energy is a division of the Center for Neighborhood Technology. Since 1978, Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) has been a leader in promoting urban sustainability—the more effective use of existing resources and community assets to improve the health of natural systems and the wealth of people, today and in the future.

CNT Energy is a creative think-and-do tank that combines rigorous research with effective solutions. Our organization concentrates on helping consumers and communities obtain the information and services they need to control energy costs and become more energy efficient. We use our cutting edge localized programs and research in the areas of dynamic electricity pricing, building performance, and regional energy planning.

We have developed strong relationships with municipalities in the Chicagoland region, utilities throughout Illinois, and other non-profit environmental organizations to achieve actual results. CNT Energy looks forward to continuing to provide innovative solutions to the energy challenges facing individuals and communities, offering solutions that are affordable, attainable, and sustainable for years to come.
