The Clean Energy Initiative (CEI) is an HBCU CDAC program dedicated to empowering the economic development of underserved communities by introducing and implementing clean energy solutions. Our focus on renewable energy innovations for HBCU and MSI communities is designed to facilitate energy efficiencies, job creation and business development opportunities for these targeted populations.

In addition to the environmental benefits that clean energy solutions bring to these communities, increased economic opportunities specifically in the form of energy savings and job creation contribute to improving the quality of life for the campuses, businesses, and residents in the communities that we serve.
