| Energy Champions to Lead Conservation | 21 November 08 |
 Ontario's Chief Energy Conservation Officer released his annual report early in November with recommendations to appoint more energy conservation "champions". His intent is to encourage broader energy conservation leadership across the province.Peter Love, Ontario CECO, released "Be the change to a culture of conservation" that recommends businesses, health care and academic institutions throughout Ontario appoint an Energy Conservation Officer to champion energy conservation efforts. Ontario faces some of the toughest energy savings targets in North America. In an effort to reduce Ontario's peak consumption by 6,350 megawatts by 2025, Love is working to engage Ontarians in conserving energy. The report echo's his 2007 recommendation to have Municipal Energy Conservation Officers (MECO's) in every Ontario community. MECO's are already at work in cities like Toronto and Hamilton, Love recommends 12 additional cities need energy champions.
