Current Projects

Municipal Energy Profile Project
This 12 month project will establish an energy efficiency data center for northern Illinois, aggregate the data and produce energy profiles for 283 municipalities. Each profile will analyze community-wide energy consumption and provide an emissions profile. These profiles serve as a starting point for municipalities seeking to analyze and implement appropriate energy efficiency strategies. (Funded by the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation.)

Kane County Energy Plan
Document: Kane County Energy Plan (pdf) – Available by request.
CNT Energy is updating the Kane County Energy Plan (also authored by CNT Energy, formerly the Community Energy Cooperative) to provide useful new data and updated recommendations and strategies that reflect changes in energy policy and funding. The original plan recommended strategies for managing electricity demand and increasing energy efficiency in one of the fastest growing counties in the state.

Elgin Sustainability Plan
Document: Elgin Energy Analysis (pdf)
CNT Energy was a part of the consultant team that assisted the City of Elgin in an information-gathering phase prior to development of the Elgin Sustainability Plan for the City of Elgin. The Elgin Energy Analysis examines community-wide energy consumption and the potential for savings through a variety of energy efficiency strategies.
