What it does

Energy efficiency is a component of long-term decarbonization of the economy, a short-term means of reducing emissions and improving economic competitiveness. Canada has the [or one of the] most energy-intensive economy per capita among International Energy Agency member countries. Therefore, the objective of the Energy Efficiency Program is to encourage and enable the implementation of cleaner and more energy efficient technologies, products and practices through activities (e.g. collaboration; provide standards, certifications, product specifications, building codes, tools and Gs&Cs), and outputs targeting energy consumers, industry, the housing and building sectors, and equipment manufacturers. The Program directly benefits energy consumers in Canada by reducing energy consumption, which lowers energy costs, and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, including from federal government operations.

The Program will improve energy efficiency through increasing awareness of energy efficient solutions, engaging target groups in improving energy efficiency and building capacity (knowledge, skills and ability) to implement energy efficient technologies, products and practices. The program is built upon strong collaboration with provinces, territories, and other stakeholders, and alignment with North American governments.

History and lineage

First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).

No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
