Apply for Membership
Become part of BVGEC
Becoming a member means becoming a part-owner of Bow Valley Green Energy Co-op and gaining a voice in its future. Membership is available to Canadian residents aged 18 and older through the purchase of one $100 lifetime membership share.
Applying requires two parts: a completed Membership Application and Agreement, and payment for your membership share. You can complete the process online or download the printable application and submit it by email or mail.
Membership and investing are separate. All Canadian residents aged 18 and older may apply for membership, but only Alberta residents are eligible to invest in BVGEC.
