The University of Toronto (U of T) has adopted strong targets for improving sustainability and reducing climate damaging emissions. Currently, however, less than one percent of the university’s electricity demand is met by on-site solar power. Our report finds that U of T could meet 25% of its electricity needs by greater deployment of solar on rooftops and parking lots. It is time for U of T to pick up the pace on using its large building and parking lot footprint to generate zero emissions power.
