Conservation Fund

The Ontario Power Authority contributes to the development of a reliable and sustainable electricity system by funding innovative conservation programs.
 
The Conservation Fund supports electricity conservation pilot projects that build marketplace capacity for conservation programs - test new or unique program elements - and can be scaled-up to achieve significant energy savings.
 
Conservation Fund Updates:

The Conservation Fund's first webinar of 2011 season took place on February 24th.
