The CLEAN ENERGY LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

The Clean Energy Leadership Institute (CELI) is building a multiracial, diverse, and inclusive community of changemakers
working across sectors and disciplines to lead an equitable, decarbonized, and resilient energy ecosystem.

Through CELI’s Fellowship and the Empowering Diverse Climate Talent (EDICT) Summer Internship Program,
CELI brings together many players in the clean energy ecosystem to take collective action toward our values.

Since 2013, in collaboration with our alumni, guest lecturers, donors, company sponsors, and partners,
CELI has trained ~ 1,200 emerging leaders through its signature Fellowship,
supported ~ 200 undergraduates & recent graduates in summer internships through our flagship EDICT partnership,
with partner organizations, Elemental Excelerator and Future Map,
engaged 600+ employers from all corners of the ecosystem,
and provided energy systems education to more than 6,300 professionals across the U.S. through our community programming.

As someone with a strictly technical background, this was the most effective way I could imagine to get involved with the broader clean energy network. The quality of the program was only matched by the leaders’ enthusiasm. I would highly recommend CELI to anyone remotely interested in clean energy development.
— Mark Hughes, Engineer, Sila Nanotechnologies (SF Fellow 2018)
 
CELI has given me the education and space to share my voice and opinions. Every person in this community is willing to meet for coffee, listen to my questions, and share career advice. And the topical lectures and leadership skills that are part of the fellowship have made me so much better at conceptual analysis and communicating in my job.
— Emily Nachbar, Product Development Manager, AES (DC Fellow 2019)
 


















Clean Energy Education

& COMMUNITY BUILDING

CELI partners with experts from universities, companies, and organizations to offer energy education and leadership development opportunities. emPOWER is CELI’s in-person, non-traditional, day-long conference built to leverage the talent, leadership, and knowledge of current and past Fellows, field experts, partners and community members breaking through silos within the clean energy industry.
