The City of Fort St. John has shown its leadership in energy efficiency by signing up to be a pilot community in the provincial Community Action on Energy Efficiency (CAEE) initiative - Phase 2. Through MEMPR’s CAEE program, pilot communities are focusing on advancing energy efficiency through municipal policies and bylaws - read the Local Government Policy Instruments Initiative program for more details.

Fort St. John policy directions: (updated March 2007)

• Developed energy efficiency language for the Official Community Plan (OCP). Adopted in October 2006.
• Designing guidelines/brochure for geo-exchange for single family, multi family and commercial buildings.

During the ESP incentive pilot that was conducted March 2006 - March 2007, community members had access to provincial grants for energy efficient retrofits to single and row housing, multi-unit residential buildings and small commercial buildings.
