Community-Based Energy Service Companies


Federal stimulus funding is bringing significant dollars into communities for training and energy efficiency upgrades.  It's the perfect opportunity for building community-based energy services companies that can employ local people in quality jobs and reduce the energy use and energy costs in their community - possibly more effectively than an outside firm could do.

Co-op Power is providing a wide range of business development support services to help communities get their community-based energy services company up and running - from business strategy discussions to business planning, fundraising, business development and organizational development.  We work in exchange for equity with a majority ownership position and we work at discounted rates for projects where we hold a minority share.

We're supporting the development of these businesses in Holyoke and Boston and will soon launch business start-up efforts in several other communities.  If you're interested in working with us, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Message from the new Co-op Power Manager, Karen Ribeiro


What an exciting "co-operation" we have here! I am thrilled to have been selected by the Co-op Power board of directors to manage Co-op Power into the next stage of development. Monday December 14th was my first day on the job and I had the pleasure of participating in three board meetings in a row including a vibrant discussion on key issues facing Energia, the energy services company just launched at Nuestras Raices in Holyoke, MA. 

A little bit about me: I'm born and raised here in Western Mass and moved up to Pelham with my husband Paul and two kids about 8 years ago. My fascinating career includes many years in marketing and I co-founded an agency with a focus of educating small business owners about the importance of "be loyal, buy local". I then got recruited into banking where I attempted to launch two socially responsible banking products and convened a tri-county summit on socially responsible investing. Then I went to work in education/outreach and directed an energy efficiency program for a local foundation and also co-founded Partners for Greener Building to bring women into the energy efficiency trades. This has just been accepted as a project of Co-op Power.

I'm thrilled that Lynn Benander will be staying on as Co-op Power's Business Development Manager. She has done an amazing job growing this cooperative over the past five years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future! I am thankful to be learning so much from her.

I look forward to talking with and meeting everyone soon, especially all who are able to make our annual holiday potluck dinner THIS SATURDAY December 19th at 5pm at the Quaker Meeting House, 43 Center St. in Northampton!

And in case you haven't seen Lynn's email to members from November 4, 2009, here it is: Great Time to Bring on a New Manager for Co-op Power
