Affordable Access to Regional Coordination (AARC)

NMCOG was awarded funding in 2019 by the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) through the AARC Program to increase local-level knowledge of clean and efficient energy technologies and incentive programs, to help remove barriers and improve access to clean and efficient energy technologies for the low-income population. Utilizing this grant funding, NMCOG has created a web resource of information on clean energy programs available in the NMCOG region.
