Transforming the way we think about energy

About The Council

The Council for Clean & Reliable Energy (CCRE) is a federally incorporated non-profit organization that provides a platform for dialogue and analysis on subjects related to energy policy. The CCRE was formed by a group representing academia, public and private sector business leaders, and labour. The Council understands the value of creating a broader and more inclusive public discourse.

During the last decade, the Council has facilitated conferences, thought leader’s roundtables, distributed opinioned publications, and shared knowledge and expertise. Its efforts have been recognized and appreciated by decision-makers in government and the energy business as providing a neutral forum for the free exchange of ideas and opinions. The Council remains committed to continuing to facilitate debate on the generation, transmission, and distribution of clean, affordable, and reliable energy with a clear focus on finding effective solutions for Canada and abroad.
