First Nations must become more familiar with renewable energy for many reasons: rising fuel costs, rising electric utility bills, budget constraints, or the potential for economic development in renewable energy. More than Wind: Evaluating Renewable Energy Opportunities for First Nations in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, provides an in-depth overview of the various renewable energy technologies, funding, government policy, community energy planning, conservation, and energy efficiency. First Nations should be looking at opportunities to participate in renewable energy development at the local, regional, and provincial levels. This Summary Guide is the first step to assist the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick communities to become more familiar with the various renewable energy technologies, and to look at the range of opportunities that are possible.
