From Spark to Strategy: How CECC Is Scaling Community Energy
A look at CECC’s journey, our impact so far, and the path we’re building for a stronger community energy future.
Community Energy Cooperative Canada (CECC) invites members, partners, and interested co-ops to a deep-dive conversation on who we are, how we got here, and where we are going next.
In this session, we’ll walk through CECC’s origins and the growing momentum of renewable energy co-ops across the country. We’ll share progress from our first years, the national initiatives now underway, and the strategic direction guiding our next phase of growth.
Participants will get an inside look at:
- CECC’s founding story and why a national co-op voice matters
- Major milestones and achievements from the past year
- What’s happening across Canada’s REC sector
- Our priorities for 2025–2027, including advocacy, capacity building, and sector research
- How members can get involved, shape the work, and benefit from CECC’s next chapter
This webinar is designed for both current CECC members and co-ops curious about joining the network.
