In 2019, FRCOG was awarded funding by the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) through the Affordable Access to Regional Coordination (AARC) Program to increase local-level knowledge of clean and efficient energy technologies and incentive programs, and remove barriers and improve access to clean and efficient energy technologies for the low-income population. Using this grant funding, FRCOG has created a web resource of information on clean energy programs available in Franklin County.
