Our Power
Residents and Businesses of Phillips West, East Phillips, Midtown Phillips, Ventura Village, Central, Powderhorn Park, and Corcoran Working Together for a Better Energy Future
The residents and businesses of this area spend over $63 million each year on electricity,heating, and gas. While we struggle with rising costs and unemployment, we are sending this money out of our community to pay for inefficient, dirty energy. In effect, we are paying for energy that harms the health of our neighbors, increases dependence on foreign oil, and hurts communities and ecosystems locally and around the world.
The time has never been better for South Minneapolis to reclaim Our Power!
Our Power is a community energy campaign for South Minneapolis which engages residents and businesses to make energy efficiency improvements and uses our collectivepurchasing power to implement renewable energy projects.
By ending energy waste and reinvesting what we save in efficient clean energy, we can:
- Put people back to work and keep the money in our community
- Protect our neighborhood from price shocks, disasters, and supply disruptions
- Reduce pollution here and in communities where coal, energy, natural gas, and uranium are extracted
- Become a leader in creating solutions to global warming and energy depletion.
