Partner: Federation of Community Power Co-ops

The Federation of Community Power Co-operatives is a collective of renewable energy co-ops that are developing community-owned projects. Eighteen organizations, including ZooShare and SolarShare, are currently members of the FCPC. The Federation works to connect community power producers with each other and raise awareness of community power through research and education. Bullfrog provided some early funding to help launch the organization’s initial outreach campaign.

All bullfrogpowered customers help fund these small-scale, community-led projects, including solar panels on schools and in Indigenous communities, education and training programs, and a cleantech accelerator.
