| Summary: | The context in Ontario was encouraging
for light-emitting diode (LED) programs at federal,
provincial, and municipal levels. At the federal level,
there were a number of incentive programs funded by the
federal gas tax that municipalities tapped into for
municipal energy efficiency retrofits and upgrades. The
federal gas tax and a yearly transfer from the Government of
Canada to each municipality based on population; it is an
environmental measure aimed at reducing greenhouse gases.
Independent electricity system operator (IESO) has a
comprehensive master plan with ambitious energy efficiency
goals, implemented with both environmental and economic
rationales in mind. IESO’s conservation first framework,
developed in 2014, maps out Ontario’s energy conservation
goals from 2014 to 2020, emphasizing a coordinated effort
within all stages of energy planning, as well as more
effective teamwork among sector partners, particularly in
support of local distribution companies (LDCs). The global
adjustment mechanism fund covers various initiatives,
including the province’s energy conservation and demand
management programs. As part of this commitment to energy
conservation, IESO provides very significant fiscal
incentives of up to 30 percent for energy efficiency in the
form of energy efficiency infrastructure rebates through a
program called save on energy. It is possible that IESO will
lower the amount of the outdoor lighting incentive, as it is
known, to reflect the growing cost-competitiveness of LEDs
in the market without incentives. |
