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.
