OSEA is dedicated to pursuing a renewable energy renaissance in the Province of Ontario, by inspiring and supporting Ontarians in the development of their own green energy projects at home and in their communities.

Ontario’s electricity was once completely produced by renewable hydro-electric generation. A return to clean energy generation using technology that utilizes wind, water, solar and biomass resources is 100% achievable and OSEA is working to show how we can make it a reality. Let the true Energy Renaissance begin.

OSEA

The Ontario Sustainable Energy Association (OSEA) is a province-wide, member-based, non-profit umbrella organization. OSEA represents more than 1500 members including individual citizens, cooperatives, farmers, First Nations, businesses, institutions and municipalities who are engaged in, or in support of, community-owned and controlled renewable energy projects.

OSEA's mission is to facilitate the transition to a sustainable energy economy in Ontario through the development and support of community-based sustainable energy initiatives.

OSEA's short term goals:

• 500MW of Community Power in Ontario by 2012
• More than 50% community ownership of renewable energy projects

OSEA’s long term goal is:

• 100% Renewable Power in Ontario by 2025
