Skeena Energy Solutions (SES) is a department within the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition (SWCC) dedicated to supporting clean, community-driven energy transitions in Northern and Indigenous Communities.
We believe that true energy sovereignty and sustainability come from empowering people, ensuring local capacity building opportunites, cultural integrity, and practical solutions that refelct the North.

Upper Skeena 2026 Empowered Energy Forum
When: April 9-11, 2026
Where: Sik-E-Dakh Community Hall (Glen Vowell), British Columbia
The Upper Skeena 2026 Empowered Energy Forum is a three-day event focused on showcasing real, tangible clean energy solutions for Northern and Indigenous communities. It’s not just a conference, it’s a hands-on gathering of innovators, Elders, youth, and experts sharing stories, skills, and strategies that work in the North.
We believe that true energy sovereignty and sustainability come from empowering people, ensuring local capacity building opportunities, cultural integrity, and practical solutions that reflect the North.
The Skeena Energy Solutions initiative was launched in late 2013 as a result of several proposals for gas and oil pipelines that would put our wild salmon economy and healthy watersheds at risk. Rather than just opposing bad development, SWCC decided to propose good development.
Over the years, our focuses have evolved through the direction given by the Upper Skeena community. We continue to work with a diverse collection of partners, funders, organizations, and individuals to localize our food, shelter, energy, and economic development projects.
Some of our past projects include:
