Manitoba Conservation and Climate advises that it has received the Public Utilities Board (PUB) report on the startup plan for Efficiency Manitoba.
Efficiency Manitoba presented a three-year plan with proposed electric and natural gas demand-side management (DSM) programs and includes energy-saving activities and projections.
The plan has a target of reducing electricity consumption by 4.5 per cent over the next three years and reducing natural gas consumption by 2.25 per cent over the same period.
The province is currently reviewing the report and will make a final decision considering the PUB recommendations later this month. The province expects Efficiency Manitoba will be operational April 1.
The PUB report has been posted on its website, and is available at:
