Retrofit demand exists in Alberta, and so does the skills and projects. But without consistent, aligned programs, most decisions still happen without support. Across Canada, DSM programs help make projects easier to finance and deliver. Here’s how they can work in Alberta 👇 🔗 buff.ly/bOIDwaG

If Canada wants to maintain its identity as a clean energy superpower, our policies need an update.🍁🔄️ This is what our Buildings director Kevin Lockhart recommended to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources. Explore our core arguments 👇 buff.ly/7Goj1UL

Big shift in Ontario’s power system 👇 In the province’s latest capacity auction, batteries beat gas — winning every contract. By storing cheap renewable energy, they’re making the grid cleaner and more reliable. More from our senior analyst ⬇️ #EnergySky #ONpoli #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy

There’s a lot of concern about data centres driving electricity demand, and in the #AgeofElectricity, that concern is valid. But the conversation is missing something: they don’t have to just strain the grid. With the right design, they can help support it. 🔗 buff.ly/Ah4H9gg

Alberta is about much, much more than oil and gas. Great to see these polling results from (Alberta-based) @pembina.org. 6 in 10 don’t want taxpayer money to support a new oil pipeline, and 2 in 3 say AB's economy is too dependent on oil and gas. www.theenergymix.com/breaking-61-...

#Buildings are the largest scalable sector to transform clean energy into emissions reductions, cost savings, and grid flexibility.⚡🏢 Now, we need a clear roadmap to achieve Canada’s goals for the sector set in the newly released National Electricity Strategy👇 #cdnpoli buff.ly/eHgDEY7

The air kids breathe on the way to school matters. Electric school buses mean cleaner air, quieter rides, and better health for students and communities. Every child deserves a clean ride to school. #CleanAirDay #EnviroWeek

When smoke fills the air outside, our homes matter more than ever. But many buildings were designed for a climate that no longer exists. Better insulation, air sealing and filtration, and cooling can help protect the air we breathe indoors — where we spend 90% of our time. #CleanAirDay #EnviroWeek

We’re in Ottawa this week to talk about energy systems in northern and remote communities with federal leaders. The past decade has seen incredible progress, but this progress is at risk. Federal policy will play an important role for decades to come.

Upgrading your home shouldn’t mean putting your life on hold. 🚧🏠 Prefabricated retrofits could make building upgrades quicker and less disruptive, so people can stay in their homes during upgrades. Our primer breaks down how this works 👇 buff.ly/9r2M1Ot

The costs from wildfire smoke show up in our lungs, our hospitals, and our daily lives. “When Canadians talk about affordability, the discussion often revolves around the cost of fuel. While we pay for gasoline and diesel with our credit cards...scientists have shown we also pay with our bodies."

We don’t need to start from scratch to improve our buildings. Most of what we’ll rely on in 2050 is already here — it just needs upgrading. That’s the work behind our newly relaunched Reframed Initiative. buff.ly/m6VZhI6

B.C.’s new Power Smart 2.0 plan puts demand-side resources where they belong: at the centre of the energy system.⚡ With electricity demand rising, energy efficiency, load flexibility and smart tools can reduce the need for costly new infrastructure. #bcpoli

We’re headed to Ottawa in June to bring remote and Indigenous community perspectives into federal conversations on renewable energy. We’ll be convening community leaders, advocates, and policymakers to discuss practical steps to move policy forward. 🔗Learn more: buff.ly/rjZCqKE

In B.C., electricity is doing something gas can’t: staying predictable.⚡ The Zero Emissions Innovation Centre’s latest roadmap shows made‑in‑B.C. electricity is a more stable, affordable option than volatile natural gas. Gas rose 17.5% in 2025. Electricity rose just 3.75%. #bcpoli buff.ly/g1JOdeJ

The federal-Alberta energy MOU fails to deliver on Canada’s climate goals. A lower industrial carbon price will harm our climate credibility and economic future. 2040 is 15 years too late to cut emissions and attract investment when it’s needed most. 🔗 Our full response: buff.ly/VnJd4la

ICYMI: this piece on time-of-day pricing in New Brunswick, featuring input from our team, has been nominated for an Atlantic Journalism Award. 🎉🎖️ It’s a great reminder that energy affordability isn’t just about tech, but about trust and public engagement. #cdnpoli #EnergySky buff.ly/gcfQc9H

Electricity demand is forecast to grow by up to 50% by 2035, and the way we use energy is changing too.⚡ As more Canadians adopt EVs and smart tech, customers are becoming central to this shift. That’s why we launched our new Customer Energy Solutions program 👇 buff.ly/q0bjXps

‘My own contribution’: the Ottawa immigrants learning to retrofit homes and fight the climate crisis www.theguardian.com/environment/... @envirocentre.bsky.social

Ontario’s proposed development changes won’t solve what’s actually holding housing back. Instead, they add uncertainty and risk, leading to homes that are harder to insure and cost more to heat and retrofit. Real predictability comes from clear, forward-looking standards. #onpoli

“We are excited to celebrate the first School Street in the BC School Streets project. That it is the week of #EarthDay is perfect timing." — Brianna Salmon, Executive Director, GCC Learn more about the City of Burnaby's first School Streets pop-up at Gilmore Elementary School: buff.ly/wDteO9H

The City of New Westminster is the FIRST municipality in Canada to pass a maximum heat bylaw. 🌡️🥵 Our homes are our first line of defense against extreme heat. As climate events increase in frequency and severity, it’s more important than ever for Canadians to have access to safe temperatures.

Canadians are saving hundreds of dollars every month by electrifying the homes they live in and the cars they drive. But clean energy tech offers more than cost savings: they make our homes more comfortable and the air we breathe in safer. Explore the full benefits of clean tech 👇 buff.ly/3ivU1j3

“The math on buying an EV was already good, but it just got even better,” says Clean Energy Canada's @racheldoran.bsky.social.

B.C.’s zero-emission vehicle target will directly affect households, public health and local jobs. Maintaining ambitious EV leadership can save households money, prevent pollution-related deaths, and grow B.C’s clean tech economy. See what the province could gain 👇 buff.ly/KYIZfOu

Ontario can’t have it both ways. Fast-tracking the critical mineral sector while pushing back against GHG targets misses a key point: EVs drive demand for those minerals. Protecting Ontario auto jobs means aligning the sector with where the global market is headed. #onpoli buff.ly/O6TYjl7

B.C. has 380+ companies and 8000+ jobs in the EV sector. 🚗🔌 Strong EV targets keep that investment and growth in B.C. Weakening them risks slowing momentum just as the global market is accelerating. We wrote to Premier David Eby on why maintaining strong targets matters. 🎯 #bcpoli buff.ly/SWcyEnI

A real honour and privilege to join @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social’s Stronger Together Tour today with local leaders, exploring ways to strengthen local self-reliance and build networks of mutual support as our communities face the impacts of climate change.

Retrofits aren’t just climate solutions — they're affordability tools. 🏗️🏠 Alberta households could save over $600 a year through cleaner electricity and energy-efficient homes, while the prov. avoids more than $1B in wasted energy costs. buff.ly/RLNxe6Q

Oil & gas price volatility is global. But electricity is local, stable, and already one of Canada’s biggest competitive advantages. Doubling our electricity supply, electrification, and energy productivity means energy security, lower costs and long-term resilience.

Strong vehicle emissions standards drive the EV transition. 🎯 Weak targets do the opposite — slowing adoption and jeopardizing Canada’s goal of 75% EV sales by 2035. buff.ly/dp4FEEX

Think heat pumps can’t handle Canadian winters? ❄️🍁 In Europe’s coldest countries, they’re already the norm — and they’re 2-3x more efficient than gas boilers, even well below zero. Retrofits make homes warmer, cheaper to heat, and ready for the future. Graph: @carbonbrief.org

Canada can prevent 62 Mt fewer cumulative emissions from entering the atmosphere by increasing the ambition of its vehicle emissions standard. 🚗🔌 With a 40 g/mile cap, we can lower vehicle pollution while ensuring we're on track for the transition to a zero-emission fleet. buff.ly/dp4FEEX

Canadians remain deeply concerned about climate change — and they expect leaders to act. ✔️ 70% say they’d feel proud if Canada became a renewable energy superpower. ❌ Only 30% feel that way about oil and gas. New insights from Re.Climate & Abacus Data ⬇️

Toronto’s buildings produce 58% of the city’s emissions, but the retrofit of two aging towers shows a different story: warmer homes in winter, cooler homes in summer, and real comfort for residents — all while cutting energy use dramatically. 🏢📉 buff.ly/W4gU7eP

It was once thought that an increase in electric vehicles would strain Canada’s electricity grid. But our new research tells a different story: electric trucks would add just 1.5% to Toronto’s daily electricity demand by 2030 — well within normal daily fluctuations. buff.ly/ZhfP6vA

Lower-carbon concrete is becoming the preferred choice in Canada — not the exception. “We can do this today — the innovations are there, the technology is there, Canada is a global leader — we just need to unlock it at scale.” More on how we can accelerate adoption 🎧👇 buff.ly/pnhTcsS

New housing legislation is driving an ambitious mandate for new affordable housing in Canada — but 70% of today’s buildings will still be standing in 2050. We need retrofits in the plan to ensure existing buildings are resilient and affordable for the Canadians calling them home.
