 Our Mission
The Iowa Energy Center was created by the Iowa General Assembly and
signed into law by Governor Terry Branstad in 1990
(Section 266.39C
of the Iowa Code).
The Energy Center's mission is to:
- Strive to increase energy efficiency in all areas of Iowa's energy use;
- Serve as a model for state efforts to decrease dependence
on imported fuels and to decrease reliance on energy production
from nonrenewable, resource-depleting fuels;
- Conduct and sponsor research on energy efficiency and conservation;
- Conduct and sponsor research to develop alternate energy systems that are based upon renewable resources;
- Assist Iowans in assessing technology related to energy
efficiency and alternative energy production systems;
- Support educational and demonstration programs that encourage
implementation of energy efficiency and alternative energy
production
systems.
