Direct peers

• Alberta Clean Technology Industry Alliance: Industry-led alliance promoting Alberta's clean technology sector. Comparable as a province-level, membership-driven cluster organization focused on clean energy collaboration and growth.
• Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA): National trade association representing wind, solar, and energy storage in Canada. Closest national-level analog to NBEC's convening role, but operating at a much larger scale across all provinces.
• Cleantech Quebec: Provincial cleantech industry cluster and association in Quebec. Closely comparable to NBEC as a Canadian province-level industry-led network advancing clean energy innovation, members, and investment attraction.
• Marine Renewables Canada: National industry association for tidal, offshore wind, wave, and river-current energy, co-hosting the Marine Renewables Canada 2026 Conference with NBEC. Comparable as a sector-specific clean energy membership body.
• Clean Energy Connections: Regional clean energy network organization in Atlantic Canada whose President serves as NBEC's Vice-Chair. Directly comparable as a membership-based clean energy cluster serving overlapping NB/Atlantic stakeholders.

Broad incumbents

• Clean Energy Canada: National clean energy policy and research organization based at Simon Fraser University. Comparable mission around accelerating Canada's clean energy transition, but operates as a think tank/policy advocacy body rather than a regional cluster.
• American Clean Power Association: US national trade association representing clean power (wind, solar, storage, transmission). Comparable convening role for a national clean energy ecosystem with member-driven advocacy and events.
• RenewableUK: UK trade association for wind, wave, and tidal energy. Comparable as a membership-based renewable energy industry body providing events, policy advocacy, and networking for members.
• Clean Energy Council: Australian peak industry body for clean energy, with membership across industry, government, and research. Comparable as a long-running, large-scale clean energy industry association and event organizer.

Others

• Opportunities NB: Provincial Crown corporation responsible for attracting investment and supporting economic development in New Brunswick. Comparable as a stakeholder in NB's energy transition strategy and a publicly-mandated enabler, though not a member-based cluster.
