The Government of Canada is taking action to build a clean, affordable and economically competitive future for all Canadians. Modernizing legislation and delivering programs to enable tenants, homeowners, building operators, manufacturers and industrial facilities to choose energy-efficient equipment and technologies helps them save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To that end, amendments to modernize the Energy Efficiency Act were introduced in the Senate. First passed in 1992, the Act aims to reduce the overall energy consumption of energy-using products and allow consumers to make informed purchasing decisions. Since 1995, Canadian households, businesses and industries have saved over $110 billion as a result of regulations under the Act. It is estimated that the Canadian industrial sector will see annual savings of $743 million in 2030, thanks to regulations already in place.
