Director of Policy

Tom Hackney, Victoria

Tom is a policy specialist, and leads the BCSEA participation in Utilities Commission proceedings, where we advocate the benefits of conservation and renewable energy, and work to ensure that the costs of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change are fully considered by our energy regulators. Successes include the defeat of the proposed Duke Point gas-fired generation plant and the government strategy of meeting BC's new electricity needs with gas-fired power. Tom develops and advocates BCSEA's policies, making sure government knows the best possible ways to fight climate change. He is especially interested in finding what will best stimulate society and the body politic to make the big changes that will put us on the road to sustainability. Tom co-founded the BCSEA in 2003, and is the past Vice-President of Policy.
