EFC advocates on behalf of members on key public interest priorities and legislative recommendations that impact the Canadian electrical market. This advocacy is more important than ever—with the growing focus on harmonization and as developing countries increase their spend on technology and infrastructure, Canadian businesses must be prepared to compete.
EFC provides a voice for legislative advancement within a safe, collaborative environment by allowing members to discuss potential impacts and collectively advocate for change. This singular voice creates strong impact for change in the following key areas:
During the consultive process for Ontario’s 2025-2036 Electricity Energy Efficiency Framework, EFC put forth a formal submission that encouraged the province to accelerate the pace of energy efficiency retrofits, including incentives to help mitigate the demand on the electrical grid and supported ‘beneficial electrification’, the term used to promote switching from fossil fuels to clean energy. We are pleased to note that the incentives for lighting equipment and energy efficient manufacturing equipment such as variable speed drives will continue and additional incentives for smart thermostats, solar panels, and battery storage are aligned with EFC’s submission.
Codes and standards are an integral part of product development and market opportunities in Canada. EFC works closely with members and regulatory bodies such as CSA Group, Underwriters Laboratories, the Standards Council of Canada, to support the advancement of codes and standards in Canada.
