BCSEA Free Webinar: Where Do You Turn When You Need to Find Policy on Community Energy?

A free webinar in the BC Sustainable Energy Association's (BCSEA) 2026 series, asking where communities can turn when they need to find policy on community energy. It is for communities, practitioners and anyone working on local energy projects who struggle to locate the policies and supports that apply to them.

The session presents the Pan-Canadian Analysis of Community Energy Policy, a research project under the Accelerating Community Energy Transformation (ACET) initiative that maps federal, provincial and territorial policies, strategies and programs supporting community energy decarbonization and resilience. It shares findings from British Columbia and beyond, discusses barriers such as inconsistent terminology, fragmented sources and the influence of private utilities on transparency, and invites participants to share their own experiences.
