Franklin County Energy Report: Opportunities and Barriers to Increased
Energy Efficiency and Adoption of
Renewable Energy Technologies by Small
Businesses and Community Facilities in
Franklin County
In early 2008, with generous support from the King & Jean Cummings Charitable Trust Fund at the
Maine Community Foundation, CEI launched a research effort in collaboration with the Western
Mountains Alliance to assess the opportunities and barriers facing rural businesses and
community institutions interested in implementing energy efficiency and/or renewable energy
systems in Franklin County.
Join us in a collaborative effort to shape a more prosperous future for the western mountains of Maine!
