What is PSECA?
In 2007, we created the Public Sector Energy Conservation Agreement in Partnership with BC Hydro in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), energy use and operating costs for public sector organizations. The Government of B.C. committed $75 million over three years in addition to BC Hydro incentive funding – contributing to the province’s energy conservation and GHG reduction goals of 33% by 2020 and 80% by 2050. On June 3, 2010 we were pleased to sign an agreement with Terasen Gas to support additional natural gas conservation efforts. After two rounds of PSECA, we have achieved annual energy cost savings of close to $7.4 million, GHG reductions of over 18,700 tonnes and conservation of 38.6 GWh of electricity.
