On this week’s "Insights" podcast, Don Mills and David Campbell are continuing their discussions about the energy sector and the transition to net zero by 2050. In previous podcasts, we have covered renewable energy, natural gas and other topics. This week, they're talking to Stephen MacDonald, President & CEO of EfficiencyOne about the role of energy efficiency.
For more than a decade, EfficiencyOne has been helping residents and industries to become more energy efficient leading to cost savings for them and a reduction in demand for electricity and other energy sources. MacDonald estimates this year alone, energy efficiency investments made since the inception of EfficiencyOne will reduce energy costs by $1.5 billion, significantly lower Nova Scotia’s carbon footprint and support thousands of good-paying jobs in construction and related activities across the province.
