City Seeks Input on Community Energy Systems Study

City Seeks Input on Community Energy Systems Study
Posted on 11/13/2026
The City of Charlottetown is inviting the public to participate in an engagement session on Monday, Nov. 23, to gather feedback and explore opportunities for community-scale renewable energy systems in Charlottetown.

As part of its Climate Action Plan, the City identified community renewable energy projects as a priority for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting a more sustainable future. To help guide this work, the City is undertaking a Community Energy Systems Feasibility Study to identify opportunities for local renewable energy generation and to determine how these systems could be implemented in partnership with the community.

The study will explore the types and scale of renewable energy systems best suited for Charlottetown, potential locations, financial considerations, and barriers to implementation.

The upcoming public engagement session will provide an overview of community energy systems, including their potential benefits, limitations, and challenges. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions, share their perspectives, and provide feedback to help inform the study.

Public Engagement Session Details:

• Date: Monday, Nov. 23, 2026
• Time: 6:30 p.m.
• Location: West Royalty Community Centre, 1 Kirkdale Rd.

As electricity demand continues to grow with the increasing use of technologies, such as heat pumps and electric vehicles, exploring opportunities for local renewable energy generation can help support Charlottetown’s long-term energy needs.

Residents, businesses, and community groups are encouraged to attend and share their ideas on the future of community energy in Charlottetown. An online survey will also be available in the coming weeks through the Community Energy Systems Feasibility Study project page on Charlottetown Hall for those who wish to provide feedback.
