Federation of Community Power Co-operatives (FCPC) Province-wide umbrella organization for community power co‑ops in Ontario that are developing grid-tied projects. Exists to unite, represent and serve the community power (CP) co‑op community across the province. Currently there are 20 CP groups &organizations supporting FCPC throughout the province
...FCPC continued The FCPC is working collaboratively with members and partners to: • Develop the allocated 10% of contract capacity set-aside for community and aboriginal controlled RE projects under FIT 2.0 • Support and work with the First Nations Energy network. • Increase the number of RE co-ops developed at the highest possible standards by establishing best practices through sharing our collective experiences, expertise, knowledge and tested development tools and resources. The depth of experience among the Federation is significant and we want to leverage that expertise to build a thriving CP sector in Ontario, one in which every Ontarian has the opportunity to generate and own his/her local power supply.
