Understanding Differences in Provincial Energy Efficiency with Efficiency Canada

Canada is one of the world’s most energy-intensive economies; per-capita energy usage is five times the global average, 29% higher than in the United States and triple that of the European Union. There is a significant opportunity for Canada to improve energy efficiency which can provide 40% of Canada’s energy needs by 2050! 

Today we’re sitting down with Efficiency Canada - the leading voice of energy efficiency in this country - to discuss their newly released “Provincial Energy Efficiency Scorecard.” The Scorecard details regional progress on energy efficiency with aims of benchmarking progress, inciting competition and sharing best practices. We spoke with the co-author of the scorecard, Dr. James Gaede on December 18th to discuss the findings, understand the current state of play, and understand what the future of energy efficiency in Canada might look like.
