ENERGY?
LiUNA members build energy systems from natural gas extraction to solar panels. LiUNA members assist in the construction and maintenance of power plants and substations, digging trenches for lines and backfilling, road repair after line installation, and supporting infrastructure such as oil and gas pipelines. Members also have skills in new technologies and are trained installers of solar panels, wind turbines, and green roofs, as well as building retrofit specialists and energy auditors.
Reshaping the Energy Future
Canada has the energy resources to grow our domestic industries and create good jobs for Canadians.
We rely on a mix of energy sources—oil, natural gas, wind, solar, and nuclear—and LIUNA supports an “all-of-the-above” approach to meet our energy needs.
By developing North America’s energy resources, we can reduce reliance on unstable regions, strengthen our economy, invest in cleaner energy, and create more jobs while keeping our country secure.
We have the skilled workers to build and deliver energy across North America.
Climate Change
A strong energy policy means building national projects safely, protecting the environment, and respecting workers’ rights. At the same time, we need clear, practical policies that reduce emissions and support cleaner energy.
LIUNA has been a leader in supporting climate action while also backing important projects. Moving these projects forward is key to building a more sustainable future and creating good jobs.
We will continue to secure work for our members through energy projects and provide the skilled workforce needed to get the job done safely and responsibly.
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy comes from natural sources that can be replaced as they are used, like sunlight or heat from the earth.
In Canada, we use renewable energy from solar, wind, water, biomass, geothermal, ocean energy, biogas, and biofuels.
LIUNA members have helped build some of the country’s biggest renewable energy projects. With wind and solar growing faster than ever, you’ll find LIUNA members working on these projects across Canada.
