Covering just half the area of Toronto’s 7,000 large open-air parking lots with solar panels could produce more than 2.5 times the power currently coming from burning fossil gas at the Portlands gas plant on the city’s waterfront. This massive clean energy opportunity is a great opportunity for the city to meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals and to improve local power supply. Our new report documents the potential for adding solar to these asphalt expanses.
