2019 Reader Survey: Provincial Energy Efficiency Scorecard and Policy Database
Thousands of Canadians have downloaded our 2019 Provincial Energy Efficiency Policy Scorecard, and visited the accompanying national database of energy efficiency policies. We want to get a better sense of how these tools are being used by the energy efficiency sector, researchers, policymakers, and advocates. Take our brief survey today so we can deliver on the #EEScorecard2020.
Efficiency Canada’s Submission to the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines
The buildings sector is responsible for just under 1/3 of end use demand in Canada and is well-positioned to capture an estimated 30% in energy efficiency improvement. Tracking the energy performance of buildings under 100,000 ft2, which account for 55% of the buildings expected to participate in the EWRB program, is a logical first step in capturing these savings.
2019 Canadian Provincial Energy Efficiency Scorecard
A national low-carbon transition requires a tripling of energy efficiency from current levels. Energy savings will be largely driven by the provinces and territories, because they have jurisdiction over the most relevant policy areas, such as public utility regulation and building energy codes.
Efficiency Canada’s submission to the Newfoundland and Labrador Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities
Given Newfoundland and Labrador’s experience with cost overruns related to the Muskrat Falls Project,3 it is incumbent upon the Commissioners to consider how similar experiences can be avoided in the future. This is why we recommend endorsing a principle of maximizing all cost-effective energy efficiency options before any supply side alternatives are considered.
