About us
Accelerating Community Energy Transformation (ACET) is a multi-partner international initiative accelerating the global push for resilient and equitable clean energy solutions through local, community-based collaborations.
Established at the University of Victoria (UVic) in 2023, ACET builds on three decades of knowledge and innovation developed by UVic’s Institute for Integrated Energy Systems (IESVic) with industry, non-profit, government and community partners.
With support from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, ACET is a partnership between Royal Roads University, University of British Columbia, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and Yukon University, led by the University of Victoria.
