Energy Program
Energy is a cornerstone of economic development in Ohio. Not only has energy contributed extensively to Ohio’s history, but it holds promise to be a next frontier for Ohio’s competitiveness on a national and international scale. Energy policies in Ohio that promote the development of “advanced” energy resources additionally support technological advancement, community and economic development, and industrial competitiveness in Ohio’s future energy economy. The work of the CE3 Energy Team helps businesses, communities, nonprofits and governments understand and capitalize on energy technology and policy opportunities through a diverse portfolio of externally-funded projects.
The CE3 Energy Team is comprised of experts in the scientific, technological, political and development arenas to provide a well-rounded exploration and analysis of the energy issue in question. CE3’s Energy Team also draws upon the knowledge resource of Ohio University’s Center of Excellence in Energy & the Environment, so designated in 2009 by the University System of Ohio. The Center designation acknowledges Ohio University’s nationally-recognized research strengths in the production of regional and advanced energy and fuels; the minimization of pollution due to the production, transport and use of fuels; and the remediation of existing and future pollution from energy and fuel production and use. Whether you are a community looking to install a renewable energy project, a business navigating state and national energy policies, or a local government exploring energy tax credits, our team can assist you each step of the way.

Example Projects
All ProjectsSoutheastern Ohio Energy Business Inventory
The Voinovich School recently completed a southeastern Ohio energy business inventory as part of a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission. The online inventory used a Web-based survey to identify, build a database of, and build a map of energy‐related businesses in the region. Additional funding received from the U.S. Economic Development Administration complements this project to expand the inventory statewide. The evolving project Web site is: http://www.ohio.edu/ce3/resources/energylocations.cfm.
Securing America’s Energy Future
In 2006, CE3 released Ohio: Securing America’s Energy Future, the first statewide energy policy plan in more than 10 years, which informs energy policy strategies evolving today in Ohio. Click here to read the 2006 report, and click here to read the 2008 update.
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Assistance Services
In October 2009, the Voinovich School received a $100,000 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission to provide energy efficiency and renewable energy assistance services to businesses and communities through the Ohio Energy Resource Center. This current project will support business development, economic development, and smart energy usage in communities throughout the region. Click here to view a recent presentation.
