Community Power Finance Forum Mission Statement:
The Green Energy Act (GEA) presents a significant opportunity for community participation the growth of renewable energy production in Ontario.  In order to leverage this opportunity and facilitate a large-scale deployment of community-owned power generation, a number of power funders, financial instruments (equity, debt, venture) and other sector players (suppliers and operators) need to be engaged.

Presented by MaRS, the GEAA and D&D Securities, the Community Power Finance Forum serves to educate the community power sector as to the extent of this opportunity, and present methods of participation. The primary audience of the event includes the community power sector: municipalities and community groups, including energy coops, farmers and rural landowners, institutions, urban project aggregators and other non-profits; and the funding institutions who will support the community power sector.
