This blog was written following the Pembina Institute’s attendance at the 2023 First Nations Energy Summit (FNES), hosted by Clean Energy BC. The FNES is a gathering of First Nations clean energy leaders, industry groups, B.C. policymakers, and many others who are working toward clean energy development in B.C. We are grateful to Clean Energy BC for supporting our participation at the summit. 2023 was an exciting year for clean energy policy in British Columbia.
