The Seventh Generation Mission
Putting into modern practice the ancient Native American philosophy that the decisions we make today should result in a sustainable world seven generations into the future.
Seventh Generation Energy Systems is a non-profit organization that provides hands on educational opportunities in renewable energy. We take both an active and reflective approach to education with specialization in renewable energy market innovation, public policy and technological expertise.
We identify and engage organizations and individuals that exhibit a commitment to seventh generational thinking, making decisions based on taking into account the effect of choices we make today, on the next seven generations. We provide that constituency with the tools to make decisions based on energy literacy and distributed renewable energy systems that work for long-term community resilience.
Our sister firm, Seventh Generation Systems Integration specializes in resource monitoring and assessment, energy analysis, and the installation of renewable systems from 10kW to 10MW. We integrate tried and true technologies with current systems and leading-edge solutions. Our team of energy specialists and clients are pioneers in a resilient energy future.

Working throughout the Midwest, Seventh Generation provides clients with a comprehensive set of services for assessing energy needs and implementing integrated systems approaches. From your initial idea, through the process of funding, design, planning, and construction, Seventh Generation will guide your project to realization. We work with citizens, farmers, schools, businesses, communities, and Tribes to translate the client’s needs into energy independence and economic strength.
With Seventh Generation, you are partnered with the resources and skills to produce clean energy from the wind and sun. Our experience adds a critical team player to your project. We believe the energy choices we make today will impact the health and well-being of generations to come. Seventh Generation answers this challenge by working with you to develop resilient localized energy environments based on efficiency and renewable resources.
