How is the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MEI) contributing to the government of Ontario’s climate change goals?
Ontario is making landmark progress on Canada’s largest single climate change initiative, the complete phase-out of coal-fired units in the province by the end of 2014. We recently announced that four coal-fired units will close in 2010 – four years ahead of schedule. The impact of Ontario’s coal closure plan will reduce Ontario’s carbon dioxide emissions by up to 30 megatonnes, the equivalent to taking almost 7 million cars off our roads.
