The Pembina Institute's detailed platform analysis compares the commitments the Ontario Liberal, NDP and Progressive Conservative parties have made on a range of sustainable energy priorities.

The analysis looks at where the parties stand on issues such as investing in renewable power generation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, creating incentives for energy conservation and expanding transit systems.

What will it take for Canada to become a clean energy super power? With more than 700 companies, the clean technology sector has emerged as a major driver of innovation and employment growth in Canada. But, if you ask the experts, federal policy and access to capital are still major barriers to a thriving clean energy industry in Canada. 

After review of the proposed delay in introducing standards for energy efficient lighting as stated within the Canada Gazette on April 16, it is clear that such a delay will do more harm than good, writes Tim Weis, Director for Renewable Energy & Efficiency Policy for the Pembina Institute.

A group of Canadian environmental organizations asked the five main federal political parties to respond to 10 questions on key environmental issues. This document presents the verbatim responses from the four parties that responded — the Liberal Party, the NDP, the Bloc Québecois and the Green Party. 

Just as buildings must meet minimum energy efficiency or safety requirements, many jurisdictions now require buildings to meet minimum renewable energy requirements. 

The Government of Alberta has recently abandoned its efforts to increase energy efficiency requirements in the building code and is waiting to adopt the next version of the National Building Code.

The Pembina Institute and the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association of Canada are calling on the government to put in place an interim step to help industry transtion to the higher standard.

Every year adoption of a new building code is delayed costs Albertans hundreds of millions of dollars.

This fact sheet addresses questions about the social, environmental and economic impacts of large-scale wind power production in Canada and around the world.

This document outlines the core elements of a strong climate change and energy electoral platform. Throughout the federal campaign, the Pembina Institute will be assessing parties' climate change and energy commitments using the criteria outlined in this document, which are drawn from our research and analysis on these topics.

Ontario has taken the laudable step of closing down its entire fleet of coal-fired power plants — a move supported across partisan lines. This, however, is but one of the many changes that is coming to Ontario's electricity system.

Tim Weis, director of renewable energy & energy efficiency, answers some of the most frequently asked questions about the role that renewable energy could play in the future of electricity generation in Ontario.

This fact sheet outlines the benefits of labelling homes with a rating of their energy efficiency.

This report outlines the policy design of a home energy labelling requirement at point of sale, for possible pilot implementation by local governments in B.C. 

This submission on proposed changes to the B.C. Building Code is in response to the public consultation undertaken by the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines in November and December 2011.

This in-depth study, prepared by the Pembina Institute and the David Suzuki Foundation, explores the significance, benefits and impacts of the recent surge in natural gas production in North America, particularly in light of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change.

This is the response local governments received to their letter to the provincial government.

Eight B.C. local governments have written a letter calling on the province to consider improving energy efficiency and renewable energy standards for homes and buildings.
