Kambo Energy Group Information

Kambo Energy Group is a minority-owned and run social enterprise committed to improving home comfort, safety, and energy efficiency in underrepresented communities. Founded in 2009, Kambo was created in response to a lack of diverse participation in utility and government retrofit programming from households with low-to-moderate incomes, diverse multicultural communities, Indigenous communities, and other harder-to-reach groups. Over the course of 14 years, Kambo’s community-centered approach has helped utilities, governments, and other industry partners boost participation by embedding equity considerations into energy and home retrofit programs. Kambo is home to three in-house programs: Empower Me, Community Power, and the Home Upgrades Program. Empower Me delivers multilingual education, support, and coaching services to ensure immigrant and newcomer communities have access to energy and retrofit programs. Community Power partners with Indigenous communities to facilitate home building, renovation, and improvement projects. The Home Upgrades Program provides fully subsidized deep energy retrofits to improve affordability for Albertan households living in energy poverty.
