We’re building more than homes. We’re helping build futures. At Build Day with unCommon Construction, our CenterPoint Energy team worked side by side with Minneapolis apprentice high school students to renovate a home. Together, we picked up tools to build the foundation of skills that are needed for success in all careers. We weren’t just remodeling a home. Together, we shared knowledge, built skills and nailed down pathways toward opportunities. Let’s keep building what matters.

Regional collaboration is driving smarter energy use in Minnesota. Working alongside @Metropolitan Council Environmental Services and @Synagro, a new project at the Blue Lake facility is harnessing renewable biogas produced during wastewater processing to support plant operations. The result is more than $160,000 in annual savings and reducing emissions made possible through collaboration and energy efficiency rebates offered from CenterPoint.
