Metropolitan Energy Center
transforming energy use in America’s Heartland since 1983
To create resource efficiency, environmental health, and economic vitality in the Kansas City region and beyond.
Provide resources, outreach, and training to make energy efficiency and alternative fuels commonplace.
Since 1988, MEC has partnered with stakeholders of all types to advocate for the use of clean fuels in communities across Kansas & Missouri. We continue to act as local experts in alternative fuels and infrastructure thanks to our U.S. Dept. of Energy Clean Cities Program, assisting fleets in making the switch to cleaner, more efficient fueling.
MEC was founded 35 years ago to promote energy efficiency in Kansas City. We continue this work through our Energy Solutions Hub (Hub) which provides tools and resources to residents and commercial building owners so they can save on energy bills, promote healthier living environments, and stay comfortable.
Community workshops, education, and advocacy are the heart of MEC. At our Project Living Proof (PLP) demo home, community members can access information and resources to make their homes more energy efficient. PLP also benefits the Kansas City area by hosting a variety of community, artistic, and academic events.
We rely on our generous donors, members, and sponsors to sustain clean communities for future generations. You can become a member or sponsor to advance your organization’s alternative fuel and energy efficiency initiatives, or support our local efforts by clicking here to donate.
