Net-Zero Communities Accelerator Program

The Net-Zero Communities Accelerator (NCA) program leverages proven tools and services, equipping participating communities with the knowledge necessary to develop and continuously implement community energy and emissions plans (CEEPs). The program provides a robust suite of resources and guidance, enabling communities to attain the economic, environmental, and social benefits associated with their CEEPs. What makes the NCA program distinct is its prioritization of integrated CEEPs, including all relevant stakeholders, its inclusivity of communities of all sizes, and its adaptability to the unique context of each participating community. The program introduces communities to new ways of thinking and working, supporting them on their pathway to net-zero.

Program Services and Tools

The NCA program offers two stream options for all participating communities: capacity building or project initiation. There are dedicated tools and services specific to each stream as well as shared supports and services within both stream options.
