Visit Commerce’s Energy team at the Minnesota State Fair! We’ll be in the Eco Experience building where you can learn all about protecting Minnesota’s air, land, water, and climate through hands-on activities, demonstrations and resources. We’re especially excited to showcase our Energy Information Center this year.  

6 Reasons to Stop by the Energy Information Center

1. Each day we'll feature dozens of energy-saving ideas, plus a free Home Energy Guide. 
2. Learn all about Commerce’s energy programs and how they can help you. 
3. Schools are increasingly going solar across Minnesota—learn about our new Solar for Schools grant program. 
4. Learn about weatherizing your home and how to take advantage of MN Energy Assistance programs. 
5. See and touch air source heat pumps and decide if making the switch is right for you.
6. Meet the Minnesota Clean Energy Resource Team (CERTs) and discuss finding a job on the Clean Energy Job Board. 

American Sign Language interpreters will be at the Energy Information Center August 22, 25, and 28 to provide ASL services to any fairgoers seeking support. Some documents are available in braille. 

If you can’t join us at the State Fair, you can still learn about and participate in energy efficiency and cost-saving rebates and incentives on our website.
