For years, fossil fuel interest groups and utilities have wrongfully influenced decisions regarding Ohio’s energy system, hampering the state’s transition to a clean, renewable energy future. As a result, Ohio is one of the largest carbon emitters in the country and the world.
OEC’s Energy Program focuses on transforming Ohio’s energy landscape, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing Ohioans’ access to and ownership of reliable, affordable, and clean energy.
