Section outline

  • If you’re thinking of starting or supporting a REC, consider these guiding principles:

    • Start where you are – begin with what’s feasible and familiar.
    • Engage early and often – people need to feel heard and included.
    • Prioritize the public good – put social and environmental benefit first.
    • Be transparent – governance must be accountable and participatory.
    • Share what you learn – help others grow by telling your story.
