The Corporation of Norfolk County is dedicated to improving the energy efficiency of municipal services, providing local leadership in sustainability and enhancing the quality of life of all who live, work and play in Norfolk County.

Corporate Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan

Norfolk County Council endorsed the 2024-2029 Norfolk County Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan on June 18, 2024.

Ontario Regulation 25/23, which is made under the Electricity Act, requires that all public agencies develop and implement energy conservation and demand management (ECDM) plans.

To achieve the energy vision for Norfolk County, five strategic goals have been established for the next five years:

To reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of County operations in accordance with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s scientific targets (45% reduction by 2030 and Net-Zero Operations by 2050)
Increase the energy efficiency of County operations
Reduce annual energy costs of County operations
Promote a commitment to a sustainable Norfolk County
Expand renewable and sustainable energy generation.

Further, the Corporation of Norfolk County has developed specific action plans to achieve the 2029 energy vision.
