To meet its goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions community-wide by 2040, Toronto needs to rapidly increase its local renewable energy generation and storage, and maximize its cost-effective energy efficiency investments.
Councillors Dianne Saxe and Paula Fletcher are calling on their fellow Councillors and Mayor Chow to support their call for a 20-year plan that transforms the city’s power supply.
The development of a new 20-year plan by the Independent Electricity System Operator and Toronto Hydro is a great chance to rethink our energy approaches and end the burning of polluting gas at the Portlands Energy Centre on Toronto’s waterfront.
