Policy

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.
