Accelerating Implementation of Renewable Energy (AIRE) is a two-year project designed to help municipalities achieve emissions reduction targets by enabling investments in local renewable energy projects and infrastructure. The project will provide municipalities with the information and tools they need to better assess and communicate renewable energy opportunities and adapt to changes in technology and policy.

'Accelerating the implementation of renewable energy: a protocol to support municipalities' is part 4 of the webinar series 'Accelerating the implementation of renewable energy'.

This presentation presents a set of tools – bundled into a ‘protocol’ – that can increase the capacity of municipalities to accelerate renewable energy deployment. Municipalities are setting ambitious climate change mitigation goals, with local renewable energy development playing a prominent role. To date, municipalities have played a relatively small role in energy planning and implementation, and as a result have relatively little experience or resources to work toward implementation. Our protocol is designed to help close this capacity gap. It brings together best practice information from across Canada, combined with new concepts and techniques in spatial planning and community engagement.
