Financing Net Zero: Incentive Programs
Energy Efficiency programs have been an important part of Ontario’s energy landscape over the last few decades. With growing concerns around energy supply and decarbonization, governments and utility companies are expanding program offerings to encourage business participation and ensure a reliable, affordable, and clean energy system to power the province..
On May 30, Partners in Project Green (PPG) was joined by Enbridge Gas & the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) for a finance-focused workshop providing an overview of available energy incentive programs and ways in which they can help organizations towards their net-zero and sustainability goals.
