Conservation Improvement Program

About the Program

The Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) helps Minnesota households use electricity and natural gas more efficiently – conserving energy, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and lessening the need for new utility infrastructure. CIP is funded by ratepayers and administered by electricity and natural gas utilities.

Eligibility Information

Each utility sets their own program rules and requirements.  Assistance ranges from LED light bulbs to larger items such as appliances and mechanical system replacements, to even funding weatherization projects.
