The Ontario Regulation 507/18, Electricity Act
The Electricity Act is necessary to accomplish the following three important goals:
- Generate renewable energy such as wind, solar, hydroelectricity and bioenergy
- Promote energy savings by working with local utilities and making energy efficiency part of the Ontario building code
- Create clean energy jobs
Ontario Regulation 507/18 was established to help public agencies better understand their energy usage, develop conservation plans to guide energy savings and demonstrate government leadership in conservation.
Energy consumption reporting
Ontario Regulation 507/18Â requires certain public agencies to report on their energy consumption and GHG emissions annually and develop a five-year energy conservation and demand management plan.
An annual progress report is presented to council and the plan is reviewed and updated every five years.
