  2. Agenda Introduction Context & History 4 Lenses Current Activity Resources
  3. Introduction: Who and What is Community Energy Association? A charitable non-profit society, our mission is to build capacity and accelerate action on climate and energy collaboratively with local governments CEA is the trusted independent advisor to local governments, helping them close the implementation gap. OutreachResearchPlanning Implementation
  4. Context: Recent Provincial Action 2008 GHG Reduction 2008 Greenhouse Gas Reductions Targets Act & Carbon Neutral Provincial Operations 2008 Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Cap and Trade) Act 2008 Greenhouse Gas Reduction (renewable and low carbon fuel requirements) act 2008 Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Emissions Standards) Statutes Amendment Act Miscellaneous 2008 BC Climate Action Plan 2008 BC Energy Efficient Buildings Strategy: More Action, Less Energy 2008 BC Green Building Code 2008 Carbon tax 2008 Pacific Carbon Trust and partnerships with other jurisdictions 2008 Utilities Commission Amendment Act Communities 2007 Local Government (Green Communities) Statutes Amendment Act (Bill 27) 2008 Local Government Climate Action Charter 2008 Climate Action Revenue Incentive program 2008 Remote Communities Implementation Program Funding 2008 $25 million Innovative Clean Energy (ICE) Fund 2008 $25 million Bioenergy Network 2008 $94.5 million endowment to create the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions
  5. Context: Recent Provincial Action Since 2008
  6. Context: Climate Commitments
  7. Context: Community Energy and Emission Inventories Per Capita Emissions PerCapita emissions vary widely from southern Vancouver Island to northern BC
  8. Context: Community Energy and Emission Inventories Per Capita Spend Approximately $3,600 annual per person energy spending $180 million for a community of 50,000 people $600 million for a community of 170,000
  9. Lenses Assets Buildings Mobility Integration
  10. Asset Lens: Asset Management and Investment Choices Climate Action Asset Management
  11. Buildings Lens: The Most Renewable Energy is the Energy left Unused
  12. Mobility Lens: Where the money and emissions are – no silver bullets
  13. Integration Lens: Integrated Community Energy Solutions…bringing it all together
  14. Current Activity: Actions
  15. Current Activity: Plans and Targets

  21. Closing Thoughts Opportunities are location-specific (local demand and local supply) Integrate and collaborate Renewable energy generation is one part of a larger picture – reduced demand to avoid over-investing in renewable energy assets Renewable energy and conservation are less risky than business as usual This is all about long term resilient asset management
