Annual Energy Consumption

The Ontario Regulation 25/23 also requires broader public sector organizations to submit their annual energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission data by July 1 of the following year.

The UGDSB has published this data annually and posted it to the Boards website since the 2011-12 school year. The report has been generated using the Ministry of Energy’s reporting template.
