Sure.
On the process, collectively we'd all be aligning to provide services to those 10 communities we'd like to advance for the Low Carbon Partnership or 10 communities that we're trying to help advance as smart energy communities.
I'll give you a quick example. There are over 250 communities already across Canada, representing 60% of the population, that are covered through community energy plans. All those plans are in place, but they're not being implemented. We want to be able to take those 10 communities that have the greatest opportunities and accelerate them, get them going so we can get to our action reduction. We would need all of us to do that. That's just an example or a snapshot of the process in which we would be engaging.
If we take as an example what we did with the City of Calgary or with Campbell River, all we had to do was work with them to move them along their plan a little further, and they've already started to see opportunities for reductions in emissions. That's how we'd be working together. We would have them take the BEEP, as an example, with one of our partners, Climate Smart Businesses, which would actually be working with that community to implement that BEEP so they can be refining, monitoring, testing, and continuing to advance improvement.
We'd be constantly working together and then working with those SMEs across Canada, trying to help them to actually get their energy efficiency programs in place and operating to reduce their energy costs at the end of day, which we know is paramount. Across Canada, 87% of CEOs have identified one key issue, energy costs, as being paramount to the operation of their businesses. Most of those are small or medium-sized companies across Canada that are worried about how they're going to address that. That is what this partnership is all about.
