The Aboriginal Clean Energy (ACE) Network

The ACE Network is a collaborative association which provides Aboriginal communities and organizations with information and tools for the development of clean energy projects including: small hydro, biomass, wind, solar and geothermal energy.

The Goal of the ACE Network is to:

Help Aboriginal communities develop clean energy projects through a ‘Learning Circle’ approach which involves communities sharing experience and expertise with each other in an open and cooperative manner.

Membership in The ACE Network is restricted to Elders, traditional Chiefs, elected Chiefs and Band members, and Aboriginal Economic Development, Energy, Environment and Community organizations. There is no fee for Aboriginal participation in the ACE Network. Non-Aboriginal participation is on an invite-only basis into ACE sessions and teleconferences.

The ACE Network has been founded, and is coordinated by Christopher Henderson, President of Lumos Energy (www.lumosenergy.com).

The ACE Network believes that by working together Aboriginal communities can apply their deep knowledge of the Land, and harness sustainable resources to create new economic opportunities that also protect the environment and provide social benefits for the community.
