RF100 Info Center

On these pages you can find information and references related to best practices for setting renewable energy goals, energy transition planning, taking RE/EE action (products & services), local and state policy and help with community engagement (selling the transition plan).

Also, you'll find contact info for the volunteer teams that are working diligently to keep these pages useful, organized and up to date. Invite them help with your next RF100 challenge.
