The City of Quesnel 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 1. 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.

As part of CAEE, the City of Quesnel partnered with BC Hydro and Terasen Gas to hire an energy coordinator to help retrofit 20 homes and several commercial and institutional buildings for increased energy efficiency. The project will also promote energy-efficient home designs and support the use of energy efficiency features in the new North Cariboo Community Campus of the College of New Caledonia.
