Johnson Clean Energy District is dedicated to accelerating the transition to clean, renewable energy in the Johnson County. We focus on boots-on-the-ground programs to help homeowners and businesses increase energy efficiency — the cheapest, fastest way to reduce energy costs and lower greenhouse gases. We search out high-quality information from many sources to answer your energy questions – one-stop shopping, objective, reliable – and tailor it to Johnson County, Iowa. We advocate replacing fossil fuels with locally-generated solar and wind energy – it’s better for the earth, better for people, and better for our local economy.
Now is the time, this is the place! Join your friends and neighbors in a campaign to transform Johnson County’s energy economy . . . and maybe just save the world while we’re at it!
STEP up!
Due to circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, implementation of STEP programs have been postponed to a later date.
Johnson Clean Energy District’s flagship energy efficiency program is Solutions To Energy Problems! This program allows you to take your first STEP to a more energy efficient home by offering direct installation of simple but effective energy conservation measures and leveraging the knowledge and experience of our staff.
