Navigating Ontario's Energy Conservation Licence (ECL) Program: Key Updates and Resources Recent legislative changes and regulatory frameworks are impacting energy conservation efforts in Ontario. A significant element of this landscape is Ontario’s Energy Conservation Licence (ECL) Program, supported by its associated regulation. Bill 196, the Keeping Energy Costs Down Act, 2023, introduces further considerations for businesses and organizations participating in or affected by the ECL Program.
