How CIPEC works

The Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation (CIPEC) represents a collaboration between government and private industry to improve Canada's industrial energy efficiency. Trade associations, companies and individuals all have a role to play in CIPEC.

Executive Board

Overall direction for CIPEC is provided by the CIPEC Executive Board. It comprises senior executives from Canada's leading industrial companies who are champions of energy efficiency.

Task Force Council

The CIPEC Task Force Council coordinates the activities of sector task forces and helps establish program priorities. The Chairs of each of the sector task forces make up the Task Force Council, which works on projects such as the CIPEC annual report. The annual report documents industrial energy use trends and publicizes energy efficiency success stories.

Sector task forces

CIPEC sector task forces set targets and develop action plans for improving energy efficiency in more than 25 industrial sectors. Task force members also share information and identify common needs and best practices. More than 40 industrial associations and hundreds of companies come together to form the task forces. To find out more, select your sector from this pull-down menu:

Industrial Energy Innovators

Individual companies help turn CIPEC targets into action by becoming Industrial Energy Innovators. More than 550 companies across Canada have registered as Innovators by making a commitment to establish and work toward energy efficiency targets. By joining, these companies gain access to products and services to help manage their energy use more efficiently.

CIPEC Secretariat

CIPEC's Secretariat services are provided by Office of Energy Efficiency industry officers. They provide support to Innovator companies and work with CIPEC task forces to organize meetings, benchmark energy intensity in various sectors, develop energy efficiency guidebooks and deliver workshops.
