The Alberta Chapter of Community Energy Cooperative Canada (CECC) is a province-wide initiative working with the Solar Power Investment Cooperative of Edmonton (SPICE), Bow Valley Green Energy Cooperative (BVGEC) and Peace Energy Cooperative (PEC) to overcome barriers to community-owned renewable energy. The project launched in 2025 and will strengthen Alberta’s clean energy co-op ecosystem by reducing administrative costs, advancing policy reform and sharing tools through a digital knowledge hub. In partnership with Indigenous organizations, the project empowers communities to finance and manage their own solar projects while creating jobs, equity and promoting climate resilience.
