The Kootenay Clean Energy Transition (KCET) pilot is a multi-year project that will build awareness and workforce capacity for a low carbon and clean energy transition in the Kootenays.
Building from the successful Kootenay Energy Diets and Accelerate Kootenays the goals of this initiative are to:
- Reduce GHG emissions by targeting the two highest emitting sectors - the built environment (heating & cooling of buildings) and transportation
- Address key barriers to low carbon technology adoption, including lack of knowledge, increased cost and local access to equipment and installers
- Support the low carbon and clean energy industries through workforce training
