Plan

5 Year Energy Conservation Plan (2019-2023)

The City of Mississauga has developed and implemented Energy Conservation Plans successfully since 2001. This new 5 Year Energy Conservation Plan is the latest plan which builds on the successes of the previous plans. The plan not only meets the requirements under the Ontario Regulation 507/18 of the Electricity Act, but it also showcases the City’s leadership in doing its part to improve energy performance and fighting climate change in City-owned facilities. Under this plan, the City will be following the principles of ISO 50001 and its Plan-Do-Check-Act continual improvement framework, and have targeted a 1% reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions each year over the energy consumption of 2018.
