Energy Conservation Week in Ontario, Canada is held on May 18. It is about the power of collective action. This event in the second decade of the month May is annual. Help us
With Ontario continuing to grow and develop as a vibrant and diverse province, the time for action is now! Energy conservation is pivotal to Ontario’s future. In fact, to keep our power grid healthy, Ontarians will need to reduce their energy consumption by 6,300 Megawatts (MW) by 2025 – that is equivalent to taking one in five electricity consumers off the power grid!
Energy Conservation Week is about the power of collective action. By working together, we can create the culture of conservation Ontario needs to reach its short- and long-term energy conservation goals.
