About the FCPC

The Federation of Community Power Co-operatives (FCPC) is an umbrella organization for renewable energy co-ops that are developing community-owned projects. We exist to unite, represent, grow and serve the community power community.

The FCPC was created by co-ops for co-ops to enable co-operation and mutual support within the sector.

It is our goal to increase the number of renewable energy co-ops developed at the highest possible standards by establishing best practices and sharing resources.

FCPC Vision

We envision a thriving community power sector in Ontario in which every Ontarian has the opportunity to generate and own their local power supply.

Objectives of the FCPC

• To research, develop and advocate for policy changes that will benefit the community power co-op sector and demonstrate the social benefit of community power to decision-makers and regulatory agencies;
• To encourage best practices and work towards common standards for the community power co-op sector in all aspects of their operations;
• To create and maintain a centralised library of tools and resources to educate, inform and support our members in developing community-owned renewable energy projects and co-ops that benefit their local communities financially, socially and environmentally; and
• To collaborate and coordinate with other organizations that promote and support community and aboriginal ownership of renewable power.
