Energy Efficiency Working Group

Energy Efficiency Working Group

Having identified energy efficiency as a key priority, the ESST established the Energy Efficiency Working Group (EEWG) to provide expert advice and recommendations on how decision makers, working with other key players, could transform Canada so that the country could become a leader in energy efficiency. The EEWG began its work by developing a statement of principles to guide energy efficiency policy in Canada and the development of its recommendations. 

In parallel with the development of the principles, the EEWG also commissioned a Foundation Paper, which examined the state of energy efficiency in Canada, the barriers and the opportunities, and set the stage for debate and discussion. From this, a series of eight issue papers and a final report summarizing the key conclusions and recommendations that resulted.
