Replication Data for: Canadian Community and Co-Operative Energy Database (CCED) Co-Operative Energy Map Layers

The CCED and the map it enables, the Canadian Renewable Energy Co-operative Map, extends the analysis of energy activities done by Fezulla, Pare, and Parkins' 2024 Canadian Renewable Energy and Battery Storage Map (CREBS) project. The CCED builds on existing outdated or more narrowly focused datasets of Canadian energy co-operatives, extending beyond power generation to grid ownership, electricity retailing, and installation of energy equipment for demand management and efficiency purposes.

These key sources of data included the 2023 Census of Renewable Energy Co-operatives (Leonhardt, R., Pigeon, M.-A., & Boucher, M. 2022) which focused only on generation co-operatives but not the range and location of projects across Canada. It also included the outdated datasets in MacArthur (2016) and MacArthur and Hoicka (2018), and more geographically focused (Ontario) data from Tarhan (2025). The CCED updated and supplemented these existing datasets, classifying entries based on the primary activities and geographic location.
