Summary

Ontario is set to cancel subsidies from summer 2018 for combined heat and power (CHP) plants that run on fossil fuels.

Under its new Long Term Energy Plan (LTEP), which updates a 2013 plan, the Canadian province aims to achieve 7 TWh in energy savings by 2020 as well as contribute to Canada’s wider goal of reducing its emissions to 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.
