About Us

The Atlantica Centre for Energy is an industry association promoting the sustainable growth of the region’s energy sector. The Centre was born out of the True Growth initiative of Saint John and its neighbouring municipalities of Rothesay, Quispamsis, Grand Bay-Westfield, and St. Martins in June 2005. Saint John is situated as the centre of the Atlantic Energy Hub, which boasts a unique and diverse array of energy resources including petroleum refining, nuclear energy, thermal generation, liquefied natural gas, and hydroelectric power.

As the Energy Hub of the Eastern Seaboard, Saint John – and the region as a whole – is in the enviable position of having the ability to profoundly change its economy, its society, and its future. This presents unprecedented opportunities to renew and rebuild our population, revitalize our community, create better jobs, and create a new hope for the future.

The objective of the Atlantica Centre for Energy is to foster partnerships between key stakeholders and the community to encourage broad-based community engagement in energy-related issues and policy development. It aims to act as a community-based resource for expertise, knowledge, and assistance to help make the opportunities associated with the energy hub a reality.
