In 2005 the DSEA was officially launched to assist in the development of clean energy and sustainable solutions that leverage and build upon the existing strengths of Durham‟s energy sector and further foster Durham as Ontario‟s energy capital. Over the last 7 years the DSEA has worked to further develop the natural strategic relationships between the academic community, the local government and private sector that exist in Durham Region to create a positive contribution within the energy sector.

Durham‟s strength in the energy sector is built on the infrastructure, the human capital, training capability and expertise that naturally developed to support the nuclear plants that book-end Durham Region in Clarington and Pickering and the many other energy sector partners. Today, the organization has grown to include about 70 energy and related industry organizations and has become a recognizable participant in the energy sector in Ontario taking a leadership role on commercialization and partnership development leading to new energy projects and partnerships.
