Community Energy Efficiency Program
We offer municipalities the opportunity, support, and resources to hire an energy efficiency advocate to create and implement community energy efficiency plans with guidance from our energy experts.
These plans help communities lower their overall energy consumption by taking part in Efficiency Manitoba’s programs for energy efficiency upgrades. Hired by the municipality, the energy efficiency advocate helps foster a culture of conservation in the community, empowering its citizens to participate in energy-saving initiatives.
Check out our Program Guide for more information.
