CEBC is a membership-based organization and will reflect the interests of those members by monitoring and influencing policies concerning energy, electricity, infrastructure and climate. These key targets are in regards to BC's regulated electricity market, government bodies that are responsible for renewable energy development and utility planning. Engagement around BC's climate plan "CleanBC" is a main focus. Promoting economic reconciliation for First Nation members through the development, ownership and operation of renewable energy projects is also a key focus. Reducing greenhouse gases by promoting low-carbon electrification of the built environment, transportation and industry (including mining and natural gas) is a priority for this organization.
