In some ways, BC is behaving like other concerned regions in the world: planning for and investing in a future energy model that looks very different from the one we have today.

But, at the same time, BC is also acting like no one else. Here, in this resource-dense corner of the planet, our region has quietly been laying the political and economic groundwork to establish itself as a global hotbed of clean energy opportunity. And Clean Works BC was created to tell that story.
