Advanced Energy

The Cleveland Foundation believes Greater Cleveland can claim a position of leadership in the emerging advanced energy industry, spurring the creation of thousands of jobs while also improving our local energy future. We’re working with a number of partners to accelerate advanced energy activity in our region. Our grants in advanced energy span a wide range of projects, from the Great Lakes Energy Institute at Case Western Reserve University to the formation of Ohio Cooperative Solar in Greater University Circle.
