Peace Energy Cooperative was incorporated in 2003 after some like-minded community members conceived the idea of a renewable energy cooperative. The Peace Energy Cooperative is a for-profit renewable energy cooperative who are passionately committed to providing our members the opportunity to participate in, and profit from, investment in renewable energy developments. We also act to educate the c
ommunity – its citizens, children, business people, and politicians - on renewable energy technologies; and take great pride in reducing our local impact on global warming. One of the founding partners of the Bear Mountain Wind Park, the two year development of Bear Mountain Wind Park project, officially commissioned in October 2009, with its 34 3MW ENERCON turbines established the first utility- scale wind development in British Columbia. At 102 megawatts peak output, it produces enough pollution-free electricity to run 35,000 homes, roughly the population of BC’s South Peace region. The project is now wholly owned by Alta Gas and the Cooperative receives a royalty for the benefit of their members. Today – we are a Cooperative of over 400 members across Canada. Our members are everyday people like you and I, community members, and people concerned about the future of our planet. Today – we continue to actively research potential renewable energy projects on behalf of our members. The exciting news around the cooperative nowadays is that we recently became dealers of a new kind of vertical axis wind turbine that is intended for residential and commercial use. All of the projects we consider build towards making Earth a sustainable planet and range widely in scope and size.
