Ontario's Chief Energy Conservation Officer Peter Love is releasing the Conservation Bureau's first full-year annual report titled Ontario: a New Era in Electricity Conservation.

Ontarians used 2.5 percent less electricity in 2006 over the same period in 2005, even after weather factors such as marginally cooler summer are factored into the calculations.

The Conservation Bureau is an office of the Ontario Power Authority. It was established in 2005 to develop, coordinate and stimulate electricity conservation and demand management by planning, designing and implementing comprehensive programs that foster a culture of conservation across the province.
