CNT's 30th Anniversary

CNT Energy is proud to be part of the wider organization the Center for Neighborhood Technology that is celebrating its 30th Anniversary on September 17, 2008, at the Garfield Park Conservatory.

CNT was founded in 1978 as a center of innovation for the redevelopment of Chicago’s low and moderate income communities. Run out of a small storefront with tomatoes growing in the windows, our goal was to invent strategies that could turn community problems into assets. We’ve since grown to a national “think-and-do” tank that is leading the movement toward urban sustainability, with programs focusing on resource efficiency, transportation, job creation, and environmental quality.

Over the years, CNT’s work, especially in the areas of climate, energy, natural resources, transportation and community development, has paid off by fueling a generation of community development and learning institutions, earning CNT a reputation as an economic innovator and leader in the field of creative sustainable development.

A key portion of the success of Power Smart Pricing is the dedication that our parent organization has had to the importance of creative and effective solutions. As such Illinois has become a place for new thinking towards a more sustainable future. The real-time pricing option to residential customers is very limited nationwide, and we are proud to be able to offer this choice to customers who have learned a great deal, and more importantly, saved a significant amount of money. So for our past and future successes, we would like to thank all those supporters of the Center for Neighborhood Technology for their 30 years of dedication and tremendous accomplishments.
