About NESEA 

Our Mission

The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) is the nation's leading regional membership organization promoting sustainable energy solutions.

For more than thirty-five years, NESEA has supported and inspired a growing network of sustainable energy and sustainable building professionals committed to responsible energy use.  NESEA is committed to advancing three core elements: a multi-disciplinary network of professionals, sustainable energy solutions for the built environment, and proven results in the field.  

Geographic Focus 

The Association operates primarily in the 10 Northeastern states, from  Maine to Washington DC. NESEA is a chapter of the American Solar Energy Society.

Our Diverse Membership

NESEA's members include a wide range of sustainable energy practitioners including architects, engineers, educators, builders, energy consultants, renewable energy manufacturers and installers, facilities managers, planners, and students. 

This diversity is a key strength of the Association and mirrors our belief that the most efficient use of energy requires the collaborative effort of practitioners in diverse professions.  Our overarching goal is to create a multi-disciplinary network guided by whole systems thinking to bring clean, renewable energy into everyday use.  Doing so will strengthen the economy, expand jobs and improve the environment. 

Programs

NESEA's largest programs focus on:

• Buildings and Renewable Energy - professional development conferences with workshops for professionals along with the Green Buildings Open House Tour.
• K-12 Education - professional development and curriculum resources for teachers.

We welcome professionals and sustainable energy advocates to join us and become part of our community. If you do, you will find many opportunities to learn, to promote clean energy, and gain new friends and business associates.
