co-operatives are one of the business models that we support. For example, they are
eligible for the Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) which re-opened at the end of

to develop renewable energy projects. Grants are available for feasibility studies
to test out ideas, and if viable, grants are also available to assist with pre-development
of projects.</p>
