renewable energy and efficiency policies can provide
all the power our state needs.
Making Progress with Your Help
Renew Missouri is a 501(c)3 dedicated to transforming Missouri into a leading state in renewable energy and energy efficiency. Through legislative advocacy, community empowerment and collaboration, we strive to make Missouri a clean energy powerhouse.
Renew Missouri was formed in 2006 to advance efficiency and renewable energy in Missouri. At the time, Missouri ranked 49th in the country in energy efficiency, with less than .01% of its energy coming from renewable energy. Right now, Missouri is ranked 29th in energy efficiency according to the ACEEE, and 9% of its energy comes from renewable energy.
