About Foothills Energy Co-op
The Co-op was formed in 2016 with the mandate to accumulate net revenues to fund and support energy conservation, green energy and sustainability initiatives within our service areas. Because dollars stay in the community, funds accumulate in the Co-op Community Fund.
The Co-op Community Fund is used for projects that members initiate. Proposals that advance Co-op goals are submitted and approved by a project committee made up of Co-op members. In effect, members fund and carry out worthwhile community projects with revenues that would otherwise go to large corporations.

The Co-op is chartered under the Alberta Co-operatives Act and run a volunteer board of directors who are elected by members at the annual general meeting, Each member has an opportunity to participate and promote projects that advance the guiding principles of the Co-op.
