Center for Energy & Environment

MORPC’s Center for Energy and Environment is a cross disciplinary center allowing the organization to respond to new challenges that face the region.  Bringing together MORPC’s well established and accredited greenways, energy efficiency and air programs, the Center is flexible, driven by the region’s needs and visions.

Thank you to our Founding Members Ameresco, American Electric Power and EMH&T who made the Center possible.

Center for Energy and Environment Advisory Council
The Center for Energy and Environment will be driven by the region itself, as its efforts are directed by the advisement of a council made up of private, public, non-profit and educational organizations.  Founding Members of the Center and Advisory Council include Ameresco, American Electric Power, and EMH&T.  For more information, contact Erin Miller at 614-233-4178.
