The British Columbia Sustainable Energy Association (BCSEA) is a network of action takers supporting sustainable energy policy, innovation, and education in British Columbia.

Whether an individual member or a business member, BCSEA offers a compelling value proposition.

Advocacy and Influence

BCSEA is an effective and respected advocate on B.C.’s energy scene, thanks to the significant support and activity of its members, donors, and volunteers. 

In the advocacy arena, BCSEA works closely with regulators and utilities to promote sustainable policies.  See our Policy Corner for the latest.

We also encourage the next generation of sustainability heroes through our The Cool It! climate leadership training program and  an extensive array of resources to learn and real world ideas. This initiative empowers British Columbians of all ages to learn more about climate change and explore new actions they can take at school, home and in their local communities.

Knowledge, Networking and Collaboration 

Membership provides access to a network of like-minded businesses, professionals, and experts in the clean energy industry.

Whether connecting through live or virtual events, collaborating with other members can lead to valuable partnerships, knowledge sharing, and business development opportunities.

Our “members only” archive of past webinars can also be an invaluable resource of knowledge and emerging issues.

At the community level are numerous BCSEA chapters active in Vancouver, Victoria, Prince George and the Okanagan. These chapters undertake a variety of activities such as attendance at trade shows and community events, participation in the monthly newsletter, and host networking events.

See our Events page for opportunities to learn and network and our For Members portal for members only access.

Environmental and Social Impact

By supporting BCSEA, members contribute to environmental stewardship, community health, and economic resilience by promoting the production and use of sustainable energy.  BCSEA’s advocacy at the BCUC (Policy Corner) and the Cool It! education programs create positive impacts at both the local and provincial levels.
