Metropolitan Energy Center (MEC) is dedicated to creating resource efficiency, environmental health, and economic vitality in the Kansas City region and beyond.
Since 1983, we have provided resources, outreach, and training to make alternative fuels and energy efficiency commonplace.
Our buildings use energy every day: at home, at work, at the library and at school. It’s how we cool and heat our homes and charge our phones. We strive to make energy affordable, reliable, and healthier for all. Learn more.
Transportation is fundamental to our society and economy. It’s how food makes it to our plates and our children get to school. We strive to make it cleaner and more efficient for all. Learn more.
Our Project Living Proof (PLP) demonstration home empowers visitors to lower their energy and water bills, make their homes more comfortable, explore no-mow lawn and gardens, and protect their families from unseen pollutants and contaminants. Learn more.
