CONSERVATION THROUGH DIALOGUE AND DESIGN
During the past year, AMPCO met with business consumers through a series of workshops across Ontario to develop a framework for effective conservation by business consumers.
This initiative supported by the Conservation Fund of the Ontario Power Authority, engaged business leaders and energy conservation experts across Ontario to raise awareness, identify conservation opportunities and barriers, generate ideas and recommend ways to achieve Ontario’s conservation targets.
