Project Overviews
Title: Accelerate the Growth of Alternative Energy Sector
Date: November 2009
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project will provide capacity in the region to accelerate growth of the
alternative energy industry by establishing an “Alternative Energy Office”.
The office will work with the senior governments, local governments, First
Nations, research and business. It will be staffed by 1‐2 people with the
expertise to initiate pilot projects, conduct technology transfer and business
information exchanges, and provide a contact point for potential new
enterprises. The office will be overseen by a partnership of contributors, and
may be housed independently or within an existing organization. An
example pilot project is a “net zero” housing development in the region.
