Participate through public action

An opportunity becomes community power only when people participate.

Agency Projects brings public rights, cooperative options, research, and practical community programs into clear view—then invites residents and local institutions to decide what they will do with them. We are beginning with five community-electricity initiatives in Virginia, New Jersey, and Maine.

Five invitations to participate

Each electricity initiative gives residents a starting point, a public record, and a practical way to carry the opportunity into their own community.

Our first initiatives

Five communities. Five opportunities to participate.

Electricity laws and utility systems differ from place to place. Each initiative reflects its own community, while all five show what becomes possible when useful information reaches the people who can act on it.

Project 001Participation open

Loudoun County, Virginia

Learn how NOVEC members, Dominion customers, and county residents can follow different electricity opportunities while building one informed public conversation.

Project 002Participation open

Jackson Township, New Jersey

Find out what became of Jackson's 2013 energy-aggregation authorization and help bring the answer—and any remaining opportunity—back before residents.

Project 003Participation open

Brick Township, New Jersey

Help bring Brick's earlier energy-aggregation work into public view and give residents a clear basis for deciding what should happen next.

Project 004Participation open

Sustainable Essex Alliance, New Jersey

Ask when residents will receive a clear update on the regional electricity program and what conditions could support another round.

Project 005Participation open

York, Maine

Help York residents understand Maine's new community-energy authority and take part while the rules and local choices are still being shaped.

Current progress

The first public outreach is underway.

The five initiatives are open, and the first government, community, legislative, business, and media contacts have been made. Residents can now review what is known, add local knowledge, and decide whether to carry an initiative forward.

July 18, 2026
  1. Public participation opened for all five electricity initiatives.
  2. Local and state organizations received the first requests for information and involvement.
  3. Where government email systems rejected records requests, the official public request route is listed for residents who want to continue.
  4. Every initiative remains available to the people and organizations prepared to bring it into their own community.

From information to action

Understand the opportunity. Bring people together. Choose what comes next.

Agency Projects gives each community a clear starting point: useful facts, public questions, participation, and a place to follow the response.

01

Understand

See the law, program, public record, responsible institutions, and real limits in plain language.

02

Connect

Bring the opportunity to residents, churches, civic groups, businesses, media, and public officials.

03

Participate

Ask questions, share local knowledge, follow the response, and help the community decide whether to move.

Access to public information

Communities should be able to see the records behind public decisions.

We request electronic records and ask agencies to explain any proposed charge before work begins. When a fee or access problem arises, residents can see the issue and decide whether they want to continue the request locally.

A record people can use

Each initiative shows what was requested, what response was received, what remains unanswered, and how residents can take the next step.
