Energy Management Plan

The City of St. Catharines' Energy Management Plan was approved by City Council on June 23, 2014.

The Energy Management Plan is design to:

• Commit the necessary resources to develop and implement a strategic
  energy management plan that will reduce our energy consumption
  and its related environmental impact.
• Recognize our stewardship responsibilities in our use of finite energy
  resources and to demonstrate leadership, optimize our delivery of services, and enhance the overall quality of life in our community.
• Provide for ongoing energy monitoring and targeting of utility usage.
• Address legislated reporting requirements under the Green Energy Act
  O.Reg. 397/11.
• Establish Facility operational guidelines and define equipment standards
  for City staff to follow.
• Set 5 year energy reduction targets.
• Recognize recent energy reduction

Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan update

The City's Energy Management Plan  was designed to meet the requirements of Ontario Regulation 507/18 under the Electricity Act (1998). This regulation requires public agencies develop a five-year plan, and update it every five years.

The City’s current Energy Management Plan was produced in 2014 to satisfy its obligations under a previous regulation (O. Reg. 397/11) , and as such, has developed a draft Energy Conservation and Management Plan to continue to move towards it’s energy conservation goals.
