Energy Efficiency in Canada: Final Report
Having identified energy efficiency as a key priority, the Energy Sector Sustainability Table (ESST) established the Energy Efficiency Working Group (EEWG) to provide expert advice and recommendations on how governments, working with other key players, could transform the market so that Canada could become a leader in energy efficiency. The EEWG began its work by developing a statement of principles to guide energy efficiency policy in Canada and the development of its recommendations.
In parallel with the development of the principles, the EEWG also commissioned a Foundation Paper, which examined the state of energy efficiency in Canada, the barriers and the opportunities, and set the stage for debate and discussion. The Foundation Paper set the context for further research on key issues affecting energy efficiency. Recognizing that efforts were already underway in various ways to examine sector-specific issues, the EEWG chose to direct its attention to issues that cut across sectors and affected energy efficiency policy more broadly.
This Final Report compiles the results of the studies, papers and reflections, including the Foundation Paper, and the conclusions and recommendations regarding each of the key issues. It also presents a revised set of principles (reflecting what was learned in the process) and a series of 10 core recommendations.
