Green Energy NGOs

Background: Founded in 1985, The Pembina Institute has become a major influence in the country’s energy politics and environmental education.  Now with offices in six cities across the country, it is more accessible to Canadians then ever. 

A highly-reliable source of well-researched information on everything from green energy education for kids to the implications of the Alberta oil sand developments, Pembina’s resources are an ideal place to gain in in-depth overview of renewable energy progress in Canada, the impacts of climate change, and the state of government policy in tackling the problem.



Pembina also makes sustainable energy available to businesses and homeowners, through its partnership with Bullfrog Power.  GreenLearning Canada, a program of the Pembina family, provides comprehensive energy and climate change education for teachers and students.
