Conservation Plans
Section 6 of the Green
Energy Act (2009) incorporated the same
requirement for all broader public sector (BPS) entities to develop
energy conservation plans as was in the Energy
Conservation Leadership Act (2006).
The Ministry of Energy has finalized the Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plans (Reg
397/11) Regulation which specifies what information
is required in both the annual reports and the 5 year strategic
plan.
The first report would be due on July 1, 2013 and
would require designated agencies to complete the proposed Energy
Consumption and GHG Emission Template. In addition, agencies would have
the opportunity to report on previous energy conservation
initiatives.
The second report would be due on July 1, 2014 and
would require public agencies to develop energy conservation and demand
management plans as outlined in the Conservation Plan
section.

AMO continues to support the need for municipal energy
plans because energy conservation plans are good public policy because
they help save money and make our energy system cleaner, more responsive
and more efficient.
To learn more about the LAS programs to help you
comply with this regulation please email Energy Services
Coordinator Scott Vokey.
