Partnering with Canadian Governments for a Sustainable Tomorrow

We work alongside federal, provincial, and municipal public institutions to drive decarbonization through the energy transitions.

Supporting Governments in the Energy Transition

Canadian governments face unique challenges in delivering climate action — balancing economic growth with sustainability, ensuring a reliable energy supply, and meeting ambitious emission reduction targets.

We know that crafting policies and programs that work across multiple and diverse government and community levels requires deep expertise, local insight, and actionable strategies.

Common challenges for governments include:

  • Policy and regulatory misalignment
  • Limited financial resources and investment mechanisms to fund large-scale energy transition initiatives
  • Ensuring affordability and equity, particularly for low‑income households, Indigenous communities, and small businesses
  • Capacity and skill gaps that limit the ability to design, implement, and scale complex decarbonization and energy transition initiatives
  • Gaps in data availability and quality to support evidence‑based decision‑making
  • Difficulty measuring and tracking policy and program impacts

How We Support Governments:
From Policy to Practice

We translate climate and energy ambitions into practical, measurable outcomes. Drawing on deep technical, financial, and policy expertise, we support governments in designing and delivering strategies that are effective, scalable, and sustainable.

Our team works alongside public institutions to co-create solutions tailored to their objectives. This includes:

  • Designing, delivering, and evaluating energy efficiency programs and initiatives for Canadian public institutions
  • Developing strategies and actionable implementation plans to support public sector energy transition and decarbonization objectives
  • Leading awareness-raising and market transformation initiatives
  • Strengthening institutional capacity and stakeholder engagement, including collaboration with government departments, agencies, utilities, and delivery partners
  • Structuring adapted financing and incentive mechanisms to support program uptake and long-term sustainability
  • Supporting the development, alignment, and implementation of policies, regulations, and standards
  • Supporting energy performance contract (EPC) projects, from project structuring and procurement to implementation as well as measurement and verification (M&V)

Whether improving energy efficiency in public buildings, designing regulatory frameworks, or strengthening institutional capacity, we help governments at all levels make decisions that deliver long‑term benefits for people, communities, and the environment.
