Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships, Executive Director, Boston, MA
ABOUT NORTHEAST ENERGY EFFICIENCY PARTNERSHIPS
Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP), founded in 1996, is a regional nonprofit that works to accelerate energy efficiency, electrification, and grid flexibility in the building sector as a core strategy to reduce climate pollution and build an affordable, sustainable, and resilient energy future. This supports our region’s long-term shared goal to reduce carbon emissions by at least 80% by 2050. NEEP has an employee hub in Massachusetts, with staff in locations around the region. As a remote-first organization, employees are welcome to work in any of NEEP’s 13 states and jurisdictions in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region.
NEEP is one of six Regional Energy Efficiency Organizations (REEOs) funded, in part, by the US Department of Energy to support and accelerate energy efficiency policies and programs. To achieve its mission, NEEP brings together a number of diverse partners in the energy field across the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states (West Virginia to Maine) including government officials, efficiency program administrators, advocates, researchers, community leaders, utilities, industry, and others.
