Efficiency Canada’s fourth annual Energy Efficiency Scorecard assesses policy and outcomes realized within the 18-month window between January 2021 and June 2022. This assessment window allows us to accommodate calendar and fiscal reporting periods, and to capture more recent policy developments introduced or implemented by provincial and territorial governments in the first half of 2022.

At the provincial level, aggregate energy savings and program spending figures show a rebound from 2020 levels. Several provinces are also in the process of updating their energy efficiency plans for the next three to five years. For the first time, we were able to include the Yukon in our full analysis of energy efficiency policy outcomes and policy, and we continue to work toward full inclusion of Northwest Territories and Nunavut in future years.
