The Community Energy Association accelerates bold action by local governments and Indigenous communities related to climate and energy.
CEA grew from a committee established by the Government of BC and the Union of BC Municipalities in the 1990s, was incorporated as a non-profit in 2003, and registered as a charity the following year. CEA functions as a nonprofit consultant with members and a Board of Directors; more than half of CEA’s member-organizations are local governments and Indigenous communities.
Our Work
We work as a non-profit consultant and deliver wide-ranging services that align with the current and future needs of local governments and Indigenous communities. This includes planning, research, communications, engagement, capacity building, policy development, and program design and implementation.
Explore CEA's Built Environment Hub
CEA has a team dedicated to lowering emissions and building resilience in the built environment. Between capacity building, education, retrofit program design and implementation, the team has many resources and materials to share. Our Built Environment Hub contains important resources, compelling case studies, and details about innovative programs.
Create an Energy & Emissions Inventory
This interactive tool creates draft energy & emissions inventories for any local government or Islands Trust Area in BC, and allows you to conduct simplified modelling to see the effectiveness of implementing actions to meet GHG reduction targets.
