  • Not worth your time

    I could not get into this podcast. The host is very dry and uninformative. He brings nothing worthwhile to the table.

  • Great podcast

    Very interesting local podcast. Forward thinking outreach/marketing on hydro Ottawa’s part. More companies should do this

    Wondering if you could do an episode describing the process Hydro Ottawa executes when parts of the grid go offline (cause, response, re feeding or back feeding, and some data on turn around time When services go down) how does it all work?

    Hydro Ottawa response time to outages seems to be very efficient

Energy efficiency helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by flattening peak electricity demand, which in turn reduces reliance on natural gas generators, which produce emissions.
Cleaner, cheaper, smarter: Ontario's Save on Energy framework explained
Q: Why is energy efficiency a priority for the province?
Energy efficiency is crucial as Ontario's electricity demand is expected to grow by 75% by 2050, making it necessary to invest in demand-side resources to meet growing energy needs responsibly.
