Many of the RE policies that have been introduced in Canada are a result of advocacy by industry associations such as the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), the Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA), Canadian Renewable Fuels Association (CRFA), the Canadian GeoExchange Coalition (CGC), and industry/non-governmental organizations such as the Clean Air Renewable Energy (CARE) Coalition and the Canadian Renewable Energy Alliance (CanREA).
Key non-governmental organizations working to promote RE across Canada include
- BC Sustainable Energy Association
- Canadian Association for Renewable Energies
- David Suzuki Foundation
- Falls Brook Centre
- Greenpeace Canada
- One Sky
- Ontario Sustainable Energy Association
- Pembina Institute
- Pollution Probe
- Saskatchewan Environmental Society
