Sustainable Eden Prairie
Sustainable Eden Prairie is an ongoing effort focusing on education and implementation of sustainable practices to protect the environment and natural resources our community enjoys.
Building upon the success of the 20-40-15 initiative, the City is leading by example and providing a foundation for residents and businesses to carry out sustainable practices in four areas — energy, landscape, waste and water.

City Joins Intercity Challenge to Promote Home Energy Efficiency
Eden Prairie joins 20 other cities to help residents lower their energy bills and increase home comfort.
Eden Prairie joins the Intercity Home Energy Squad® Challenge to encourage residents to get a home energy visit through the Home Energy Squad.
A free Home Energy Squad visit helps you learn how your home uses energy, reduce heating and cooling costs, improve comfort year-round and connect you with additional energy-saving resources. By learning more about your home’s energy use, you can conserve resources and increase your home’s comfort by making small improvements.
The Home Energy Squad is usually delivered as an in-person home visit. To help Minnesotans save energy and also meet customers at their comfort level, Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy also offer free Virtual Home Energy Squad visits. During a virtual visit, an energy consultant will guide customers on a walk-through assessment of their homes via video chat. Homeowners receive energy saving tips to start saving energy right away and recommendations for next steps that may include an in-person visit and the installation of energy saving products.
Our challenge to you – sign up for a free virtual Home Energy Squad visit this year to learn more about your home’s energy use and opportunities to save. Our goal is to be the city that completes the most number of visits per capita in 2021 to help save energy and reduce our carbon footprint.
Call 651-328-6220 or visit mncee.org to sign up.
