Welcome!
The Metropolitan Energy Policy Coalition (MEPC),
comprised of commissioners from Anoka, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey,
Scott and Washington counties and council members from the
Metropolitan Council, engages in matters of strategic interest to
meet the needs of Minnesota Counties to secure safe, reliable,
economical, and environmentally responsible energy sources. The MEPC
works to develop renewable energy sources, improve the efficiency
with which energy resources are utilized, and contribute to
Minnesota becoming energy independent.
The MEPC was originally organized in 1999 in response
to deregulation that was sweeping the energy sector. The group
initially focused on issues pertaining to the availability,
reliability and affordability of electricity and natural gas
supplies in Minnesota, but as the pace of restructuring slowed, the
MEPC transitioned into a collaborative, educational forum for County
Commissioners and Met Council Members to collectively discuss,
understand and plan for current and future energy supply, policy and
regulatory issues.
MEPC members encourage you to look around the website
to read about the Coalition’s past accomplishments, current
projects, and plans for the future.
Finally, should you have any questions pertaining to
the MEPC, please contact:
