SMALL CHANGES MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE

Over 175 municipal governments in Alberta have worked with us to create real savings and real change. City, Town, Village, Summer Village, County, Municipal District, Indigenous communities – no community is too big or too small to participate. 

Upgrading lighting, thermostats, heating and ventilation systems, installing solar PV systems, implementing weatherization measures, integrating electric vehicles into the municipal fleet, and hiring an energy manager – it all adds up to millions of dollars in annual energy savings for Albertans. Finding that difficult to picture? That’s okay: we made you a map. Our Impact Map shows a pin for every project we have helped complete. Opening the map full screen will allow you to choose from one of the pre-built filters or search by community or project type.
