Municipalities, Schools, and Hospitals:
Energy Conservation and
Demand Management Plans

Paul Manning
Manning Environmental Law

Energy Conservation Obligations under the Green Energy Act

The Green Energy Act (GEA) requires designated public agencies to prepare energy conservation and demand management plans.  Ontario Regulation 397/11 imposes this
obligation on municipalities, schools and hospitals as follows:

• By 1st July 2013 (and annually thereafter), each agency must publish a list of its energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for 2011
• By 1st July 2014, each agency must publish its energy conservation and demand management plans
• By 1st July 2019 and every five yearly thereafter, each agency must publish the above information together with its current energy conservation plan.

The regulation is deceptively silent on targets and any obligation to implement these
plans but these requirements may still arise under the GEA itself.
