OBJECTIVES
Stay current on urban and rural energy-related matters pertaining to community energy planning, specifically in a municipal context.
Address issues brought up by the membership around community energy planning as they arise.
Convene stakeholders around priority issues and act as a central resource for information gathering and sharing such as the Partners for Climate Protection milestones.
Grow the Working Group to include all municipalities in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island that have an interest in community energy planning at the local level.
Provide a unified municipal voice for Smart Energy Communities in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
Communities account for 58 per cent of energy use and 54 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions in Atlantic Canada. In order for New Brunswick to meet its greenhouse gas and energy objectives, continued coordinated action at the municipal level is essential and will be directly advanced by the New Brunswick & Prince Edward Island Working Group.

Low Carbon Energy Innovation Community of Practice
The Community of Practice (CoP) provides a space for practitioners to share tips and best practices, ask questions of their colleagues, and receive peer-to-peer support on matters relating to low-carbon energy innovation. As a member of the CoP, participants will be able to learn from and share best practices with colleagues across Canada. Participants will also have the opportunity to provide early feedback on the research and findings gathered via the Low Carbon Energy Innovation project.
Members of the CoP will be asked to commit 12-15 hours per year, including involvement in the bi-monthly meetings and by providing feedback.
Leaders Dialogue
The Smart Energy Leaders’ Dialogue (LD) is a forum for senior executives and decision-makers from the Canadian energy industry, government, and related sectors to formulate common understanding and develop critical insight on how we use, move and produce energy in communities across Canada with a focus on the development of Smart Energy Communities.
Distributed Energy Resources
Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) is a national working group with a regional focus on sources of energy that are connected at the community level to a distribution system. The working group has been established to engage and connect relevant industry stakeholders in discussions about how we influence positive change as our energy systems evolve.
