• BC Citizens for Green Energy – “astroturf” group promoting private power under the pretence of “green” energy
• BC Energy Plan – province’s current energy policy
• BC Energy Policy Publications – government reports rationalizing the privatization & deregulation of BC’s electricity sector
• Independent Power Producers Association of BC – association providing information, resources, and services for BC’s private power industry
• Power Up Canada – a national group with a “green-washed” vision of climate leadership that is synonymous with private power development
