Toronto Power Saving Blitz

We got a visit at the office today from a electrician contracted by Toronto Hydro. He was part of the Power Saving Blitz program happening in Toronto. It's fantastic - this program goes around to small businesses and replaces their lighting fixtures to more energy efficient ones free of charge. This helps businesses save money on electricity bills and helps the city's power grid.

To learn more, see the Toronto Hydro website.

"When you conserve energy you’re doing more than just helping your business’ bottom line – you are also contributing to a cleaner environment for your customers and the community."

It's good for everybody from the hydro department to the contractor to the business owner to the environment. Love it.

Thanks for the comment, Debbie. So far, approximately 1500 small businesses have taken advantage of this program, and we've cut power consumption by about 2 MegaWatts so far.
