Values and Principles

Maximize development and integration of local renewable energy resources on both the customer-side and grid-side of the meter.

Encourage new business development, workforce development, and family-sustaining careers by providing high standards of work, quality working conditions, union jobs, local hire, and career pathways.

Include programs and projects that prioritize benefits to low-income communities and communities that have been most impacted, economically and environmentally, by the fossil fuel economy.

Maximize development of community-owned (both private and collective) and publicly-owned local energy assets to give the community more control over the use of these assets.

Provide for all-inclusive community engagement in energy program decision-making, design, and implementation.
