Check out the full agenda!
The rise in new generation and load service requests, along with DER adoption, rate changes and program enrollment is creating significant challenges for co-ops
Limited staff and manual processes make it difficult to coordinate across customer service, engineering and program teams.
Clean Power Research provides trusted software solutions that:
- Save staff time and effort by streamlining repetitive tasks and workflows.
- Accelerate application review times to meet rising demand.
- Future-proof operations with adaptable software that evolves with your needs.
Our flexible, no-code tools help co-ops efficiently manage increasing service requests and program enrollments so you can focus on serving your members.

Member Education and Engagement
Empowering members to make informed energy decisions
Co-ops are deeply rooted in their communities, fostering trust and mutual support. This close relationship helps co-ops address members’ unique needs effectively. Education is crucial, empowering members to make informed energy decisions and promoting sustainable practices that benefit the entire community.
Our fully digitalized solution supports member targeting, outreach, education, enrollment and post-enrollment, helping to ensure the success of your energy programs without overwhelming staff.
Common member education challenges for co-ops
- Resource intensive – manually educating members requires significant time and effort, which can strain co-op teams.
- Scalability issues – as members become more interested in solar and electrification, it becomes increasingly difficult to provide personalized education without automated systems.
- Support – Ensuring all members receive consistent and accurate information can be challenging, especially in geographically dispersed communities.
Workflow Automation
Empowering staff to achieve program success
Co-op teams are often lean, and empowering teams with the right tools is essential for seamlessly processing applications—from rooftop solar to load service requests.
Advanced workflow automation solutions ensure that staff can efficiently manage tasks, reduce errors, and enhance productivity from application to energization.
Our solutions not only streamline operations but also boost staff morale and confidence, leading to better service for members and a more resilient cooperative.
Common workflow challenges for co-ops
- Application backlog – manually processing applications and tracking status prolong project timelines. Manual email and spreadsheet tracking further burdens teams.
- Reporting requirements – complex regulatory reporting can cause bottlenecks and missed deadlines can be expensive.
- Reduced productivity – program data residing in multiple utility systems can cause double-data entry errors and hassle.
By adopting Clean Power Research’s solutions, co-ops can educate members and scale their energy programs while improving the program team experience and speeding up project lifecycles
