About
Sustainable Ohio Public Energy Council (SOPEC) is a Regional Council of Governments (COG) that provides public energy services to member communities across Ohio. The mission of SOPEC is to provide simple, valuable, and reliable public energy programs that help our communities achieve their local sustainable energy goals. SOPEC has been a national leader in Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) since its inception in late 2014.
Through the leadership of Roger Wilkens, Ph.D., and the Center for the Creation of Cooperation, the City of Athens, the Village of Amesville, and Athens County, Ohio, joined together to form SOPEC. The Center, the SOPEC Board of Directors, partner organizations, and local businesses contributed to the creation and development of UpGrade Athens County, a special project of SOPEC, that was launched to help the Athens County community become the most energy-efficient community in the country. Today, SOPEC electric aggregation customers across Ohio drive demand for renewable energy through their collective buying power, supporting the development of sustainable wind and hydropower supply sources.
