💡 Finding the right community energy policy shouldn’t be the hardest part of taking action.

Across Canada, policies, programs, regulations, and supports for community energy vary widely between jurisdictions. Different terminology and fragmented information can make it difficult for communities to know what resources are available.

On October 28, join BCSEA for a free webinar exploring research that is mapping Canada’s community energy policy landscape and identifying ways to make this information more accessible.
