An equitable climate solution
For twenty years Spark Northwest has worked at the local level to build equitable, affordable clean energy through community energy programs and policy reform. Our installations of renewable energy have directly prevented over 13 million pounds of carbon emissions annually, while inspiring others to move boldly towards a just transition.
We are hiring
Spark Northwest is seeking a Project Manager to join our team of local clean energy innovators. This person will work closely with community partners, providing coaching and support to develop clean energy plans and projects.

Our Impact
In 2022, we worked with low-income, Black, Indigenous and people of color-led organizations to develop and complete clean energy projects. We supported rural entities to apply for federal clean energy grants, partnered with Tribal nations on energy planning and projects, and advised local governments on how to equitably transition homes toward using clean energy.
