What is this handbook about?This year, the Ontario government released a five-year Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) to reduce GHG emissions reductionsin the province. A variety of energy conservation programs and projects were proposed for various sectors, includingtransportation and residential buildings and these projects or programs will be developed and implemented over the next fiveyears.According to CCAP, capital investments in greenprojects will be drawn from the cap and tradeprogram revenue, which is expected to be $1.8 to$1.9B annually. Figure 1 illustrates the total proposedbudget allocation for each of the eight action areas inthe plan.In this handbook, Energy Exchange has gatheredinformation on Ontario’s existing energy conservationprograms and linked them to the action areasidentified in CCAP. This handbook highlights bothexisting and proposed programs and projects in theprovince at the municipal, provincial and federal levels.When reading through the handbook, you can click onthe programs that look interesting to you to learnmore. You will likely find quite a few programs that are relevant to you. By participating in these programs, you will be able tosave money, save energy, and contribute to the fight against climate change!
