The Ontario Government has committed to help public agencies better understand and manage their energy consumption. As part of their undertaking, Ontario Regulation 397/11 under the Green Energy Act (2009) requires public agencies: municipalities, municipal service boards, school boards, universities, colleges and hospitals to report on their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions annually beginning in 2013 and to develop and implement energy conversation and demand management plans starting in 2014.

The documents containing the data for the GECDSB and the ECDM plan are listed in the margin on the left.
